Sinbad Classic 2009
The Sinbad Classic will run from the 26-28 February
in 2009. We are confident that the 2009 running of the Sinbad Classic is
going to be bigger and better than before with the introduction of a new
format, great prizes and new ideas.
We would
like to once again take a moment to thank all of our sponsors from the 2008
event especially our title sponsors ART Marine from Dubai and Riviera Yachts. Please take a moment to check out their
website; http://www.artmarine.net/
as well as all our other amazing sponsors from the Sinbad Classic. Without
these guys we wouldn't be able to run the event.
We would also like to congratulate all the winners
from the 2008 event. Our 1st prize winners team Sidab will be winging it to
Cape Town, South Africa in October for 8 days to enjoy some
great fishing off the legendary Cape Point! For more info on Cape Town check out http://www.tourismcapetown.co.za/

After the success of the 2008 event and the
fantastic exposure we generated through the media and foreign coverage
little did we expect that more great news was about to follow; our winning
team from the 2007 event, Team Nomad, jetted off to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
for the 2008 offshore world championships determined to make the event and
Oman proud. This they did! After day one of the championships Team Sinbad
Classic, Sultanate of Oman, were in second place with a fantastic haul of
six marlin, caught and released, and at the end of day two, they were in
joint 1st position, with 3 more marlin caught and released! Come
day four they had unfortunately slipped down the order and finished an
amazing 9th place out of 63 competing teams representing 27
countries around the
world!
