Hello everyone

I'm new here and i was wondering if anyone could help me.

I have been offered a job in Qatar with a 2 year contract and i would love to buy a second hand sailing boat of about 14 metres long when i'm there but so far i've been unable to find any websites that sells them,I would really appretiate any help.

Thank you

is wait until your here then go round the harbours, the harbour mater there is the best point of contact for people selling sail boats and will be able to put you in touch with the seller.

We came we saw we were Qatarized

For motorboats I could steer you into the right direction, but as far as sailing is concerned (maybe try the admirals club next to ritz carlton),......I only use the wind when I'm kitesurfing.

Hi, just come over you'll find what you need here. People don't seem to use the web a lot to sell and buy stuff here. But untill so far I've managed to find everything I need. You are going to have to wait for about a month (resident permit) anyway to register the boat I'm sure by then you'll have found your boat. Good luck and enjoy !

Life is great !
