Dubai Offshore Sailing Club (DOSC) opened its doors in 1974 with little more than a barasti shade on the beach, a few small sailing boats and a collective desire to promote sailing to all nationalities across the Emirates.

Since these humble beginnings, DOSC has grown to host some of the best sailing opportunities in the Gulf. It is still a non-profit organization run by a team of enthusiastic volunteers, although now the Committee is supported by a team of full time employees to ensure that members enjoy the best possible sailing and leisure experience.
