The fourth season for the SailGP sports league has expanded from 12 to 13 events with the addition of the Dubai Sail Grand Prix in Mina Rashid on December 9-10. This adds a second event in the United Arab Emirates, filling a gap between the Spain Sail Grand Prix (October 14-15) and Abu Dhabi Sail Grand Prix (January 13-14).
“Following our successful debut (at the venue) last year, returning to Dubai will help to amplify our ambitions to grow the sport across the UAE,” said SailGP CEO Russell Coutts. “…we are looking forward to what the Dubai event can bring this year by welcoming even more fans to the race stadium at Mina Rashid.”
Mina Rashid, also referred to as Port Rashid, is a man-made cruise terminal and was Dubai’s first commercial port. As cargo operations moved to Jebel Ali Port in 2018, it currently serves as a seafront coastal destination, tourist cruise destination, and residential area.
“Mina Rashid Marina is the perfect destination for all things maritime,” said Hamza Mustafa, Chief Operating Officer at P&O Marinas. “Our partnership (with SailGP) cements our commitment to making Dubai a leading maritime hub and a global destination for yachting and sailing enthusiasts.”
