SB20 PORTUGAL HAS COME A LONG WAY IN ITS DEVELOPMENT FROM A SMALL FLEET TO SOLID 40-BOATS STRONG HAVING RECENTLY HOSTED TWO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, IN 2016 AND 2021 (POSTPONED FROM 2020). CLUBE NAVAL DE CASCAIS IS THE HOME BASE FOR ALL THE ACTION, LOCATED IN THE BEAUTIFUL TOWN OF CASCAIS AT THE MOST WESTERN POINT OF CONTINENTAL EUROPE. DEPENDING ON THE WIND CONDITIONS THE RACING IS HELD IN PROTECTED FLAT WATER BAY WITH ITS TRICKY SHIFTS AND CURRENT FROM THE RIVER OR OUT IN THE WILD, THE ATLANTIC OCEAN WITH 1 TO 4 METER WAVES AND SOMETIMES 25-30 KNOTS STRONG WINDS. IT IS ONE THE MOST FAVOURITE VENUES OF MANY RENOWNED SAILORS, LIKE RUSSELL COUTTS AND ED BAIRD, WHO SAYS THAT “IT’S ALWAYS FUN IN CASCAIS”. WE WELCOME YOU TO COME AND EXPERIENCE IT FIRST HAND YOURSELF!
