The Shorthanded Series is a keelboat racing series at the Dubai Offshore Sailing Club (DOSC) in which boats are sailed with a reduced crew, typically single-handed or double-handed. Racing takes place on the Arabian Gulf in Dubai, with this being the third round of the season series. Shorthanded sailing demands greater boat-handling skill and tactical awareness, making it a popular format among experienced DOSC sailors.
