Al Hamra Marina and Yacht Club, RAK - video

by Sail-World Asia on 30 Aug 2009 Take a look at this video of the Al Hamra Marina & Yacht Club in Ras al Khaimah.

RAK is the intended venue for the America's Cup DOG match in February next year, and the video designed to put a good 'spin' on the situation suggests there is more infrastructure in place that we have previously been led to believe.

There's a marina with boats in it, and a nice-looking clubhouse (that has the good taste to have Talisker single malt on the drinks list).

Someone on the video asks, 'What do you think? Are they ready?' which presumably is a reference to the proposed America's Cup match.

Clearly they are not, but could they be in the time frame?

We have asked for some more images of the island that is slated to be developed as the AC 'base'..

Take a look, make up your own mind...
