PASSIONATE ABOUT SAILING IN DUBAI SINCE 1974
RACING PARADISE FOR SAILORS IN DUBAI
Dubai Offshore Sailing Club has the biggest and most competitive racing fleets found in the Gulf. From light-hearted fun to competitive ‘round the cans’, offshore races, and international races, DOSC offers it all.
Most Keelboat races at DOSC operate using the IRC Rating System (southern hemisphere), allowing fair and competitive handicapped racing for all.  For Dinghy racing, our competing fleets include Optimists, Lasers, Open Dinghy and Picos. Â
CRUISING ADVENTURES
DOSC organises day, overnight and longer cruising rallies for keelboats in UAE waters.Â
Open to both existing DOSC members and their guests, and those with a DOSC membership application under process, we welcome all kinds of keelboats and sailors of all levels of experience to join us for our events. Our rallies focus on safe, sociable and fun sailing activities for the whole family, and are a great way to meet and socialise with likeminded sailors. For novices and less experienced sailors, it also offers the opportunity to learn from more experienced sailing veterans in the cruising flotilla.
Our cruises run at least once per month throughout the cooler months, from around October to April.
