Empowering Youth Through Sail Training: Oman’s Legacy of Support Grows

Sail Training International is delighted to announce that on 4th December, at the Royal Navy of Oman’s headquarters in Muscat, the Royal Navy of Oman renewed their generous support of Sail Training International’s mission of youth development and the fostering of international friendship and understanding by signing a new 5-year bursary funding agreement. James George, Chair of Trustees, signed the agreement with Commodore Ali Al Hosni, Commander of the Royal Navy of Oman

Accompanied by Vanessa Mori, Deputy CEO, Magda Makowska, Race Director, and Abi Haywood, Digital Marketing Executive, the team were warmly welcomed to the RNO Headquarters by Commodore Ali Al Hosni and Rear Admiral Saif bin Nasser Al Rahbi of the RNO.

The Oman Bursary Fund, originally established in 2011, has already supported over 1,500 young people who, through the bursary scheme, have been able to experience a sail training voyage, which in many instances has been life changing.

To our friends of the Royal Navy Of Oman, we are enormously grateful for your continued support and friendship. Through your generous support, we are making a difference in young people’s lives.
