TEAM WINDS
has been looking for a base in the “south” to
complement the long established sailing activity in
la Trinité sur Mer. Lisbon-Cascais has
been chosen for its exceptional sailing area that made
it a serious contender for hosting the Amercia’s
Cup races. Wind conditions are ideal and allow for
racing in the Tage estuary, just alongside the historic
heart of Lisbon.
The quality of the hotels in Lisbon, as in Cascais
(where there are 5 five star hotels and about 10 four
star establishments), the cultural richness and maritime
heritage as well as easy acces from all the major european
capitals reinforce this ideal choice.
The southern lattitude and meterological conditions
of the Portuguese capital greatly enhance the comfort
and enjoyment of sailboat racing.
In Portugal, TEAM WINDS has a fleet of 12 identical
one design sailboats, new or recent, similar to the Grand Surprise,
thus being able to accomodate groups of 100 people.
These sailboats were chosen for their easy manoeuvrability
and the great sensations they produce when sailing
out on the water. Sailors of all levels can discover
the pleasures of racing around bouys, in complete security.
The large majority of our professional skippers
are tri-lingual: portuguese – french – english.
