What a great conversation!

Sail Magazine is an independent Emirati magazine. The magazine was an idea that was waiting to be incubated for a long time. With the right support and people, it was finally founded on 1st of March by Iman Ben Chaibah.

This magazine is called Sail. Yet it could’ve been called many things e.g. Urban, Intellectual, Avant-garde youth or any other academically adjective-ised reference to the young. But be literal? Why label it? And why limit it? Are the youth the only hope? Are we unable to enjoy the inspiration we may find in those who rediscover their inspiration? We must not judge, only analyse. We must not only speak, but also listen. We must not only advocate, but also meditate. We must not only propose, but also respond. We cannot be critical and still be defensive. We must sail. Accept the gift of wind and row when it is not generous. We must ride the seas that are wave and calm. This magazine is called Sail.

Sail will attempt and fail and learn and attempt and fail and learn. Sail is a journey that does not end, one day its wood would deconstruct and be used to make a fire for the cold or erect a raft of rafts with a sail of sails for greater attempts, fantastic failures and even more lessons.

Sail’s purpose is to maintain a platform of curiosity.
