For its fifth event of the sixth season, the ultra-high performance one-design catamarans were invited to visit Muscat for the final event of the 2019 GC32 Racing Tour, the GC32 Oman Cup. The event, held in Muscat, has been jointly organized by Oman Sail and the host venue partners EFG Private Banking as well as fragrance brand Amouj and the Sultanate of Oman Ministry of Tourism. The Oman Cup was the final of the 2019 GC32 Racing Tour and will decide this year’s overall podium places. Unquestionably the big fight was for top spot between the local heroes Oman Air and Ernesto Bertarelli’s World Champions Alinghi.
With so many teams close on the leader board, there was the potential for some crucial match races amongst the fleet.
