Al Busaidi, who had never sailed before joining the Sultan of Oman's Navy as young man, was joined aboard the "Musandam-Oman Sail" by his fellow 29-year-old countryman Fahad Al Hasni who has only been sailing for three years.
"I am very proud of what I have achieved so far but it is important for me to give something back to the community, " said Al Busaidi, who is heading back to Oman for Ramadan before re-joining his crew for the summer's European sailing tour.
"It was a real challenge to finish once we had lost the foil, our speed dropped so much so we knew we had to do something drastic to fix it, " said Moshin Al Busaidi, the 37-year-old Omani sailor who shot to fame in 2009 when he became the first Arab to sail non-stop around the world in just 76 days.
