They have a number written on the side of one of the yachts. I assume its the Colgate's you're referring to. There are 10 of them in fact, or used to be.

Personally I don't like them, because in a bit of a breeze, they're not the most stable boat I've been in. We're all fairly good sailors, but I was surprised at how easy it almost 'broached' in a not so difficult wind. Anyway, check for the boat with the big writing on the side that says 'For Rent. Call ???????' That should help you. They aren't expensive if there are a few of you.

if the grass is greener on the other side, its sure the water bill is higher !

Yes either go to the Sailing club between Mariott & Doha club, which is government sponsored. Very reasonable prices. Just become a member and you can go as much as you want. Or you can go to the Sailing school which is located at the Intercon. More expensive

Happy Sailing...
