Sailing in Doha?

I am new to Doha, and had hoped to be able and buy a mid-sized Catamaran (38'-42') to perpare, sail, and exit on when I leave Qatar. My web searches show that this is not going to happen, as there appears to be nothing like this for sale in the entire region. I was out on one of the Colgate26's the other weekend and thought I saw a Raider 30 (a 30' Grainger Cat out of Australia). Does anyone know who owns this Cat, as I would like to see it for general interest, and are there any other similar sized Cats in Doha, or surrounding area?

There is a sailing school attached to the Intercon - they might be able to point you in the right direction.

For the benefit of SamyaUK. I am not sure what was confusing, other then maybe the term Cat which is just an abbreviation for Catamaran (a twin hull sailboat), versus a Monohull (a single hull sailboat). Hope this clears up the confusion.

Sailing other than dinghy sailing, does not seem to be that popular yet.

Suggest you contact Alfardan Marine Services re Cat of the size you are looking for. They may be able to point you in the right direction.
