Like a Great Wine, we have the Perfect Blend !
With his 1860km of Coastline Portugal is a Perfect Place to Practice this Sport that we all Love… Sailing !
Portugal is known as a Tourist Country all Over the World ! Due to his Amazing Weather, the Vast Coast allows the Practice of many Water Sports, the Alimentation and the Accommodation. With these factors and with the Several Marinas that the Country has, it’s an Advantage to Sail in Portugal and it’s Possible during the 365 days of the Year! We also host a lot of Important Competitions, from World and European Championships to Qualifications for the Olympics and a lot of Trainings during the Winter.
The Core of this Team is a part of the Portuguese Golden Generation and has sailed Many Years Together in the Bigamist. With the Younger Members we form an Interesting and Balanced Team. For one hand the Members of the Old Guard, who are very experienced Individually and as a Team. They can Sail with their eyes almost closed, due to their Several Hours in the Sea, since World and European Championships, to Medals and Diplomas in the Olympic Games, Participations on the “America’s Cup” and on Offshore Racing, like the ”Ocean Race”. And on the other hand, the younger Crew, that also has interesting Achievements and a Amazing Attitude and Future ahead. With this Knowledge and Fresh Perspective, the Old Guard and the Nwebies are going to form a Team of Excellence.
Our Team still has the peculiarity of having the Captain as a Non-Crew for the SSL47. João Rodrigues is more focused on putting all the pieces together and mastering the elements, until the perfect point is reached. In order to get the most of each Individual Member and to Gear Every Piece to work as One, a True Team.
Over the Last Few Years, there haven’t been any Projects with more than two or three Portuguese Sailing Together and even Less Under the Flag of our Country. With the Amazing Exception of the Mirpuri Foundation Racing Team, that is going to do 3 Legs of The Ocean Race 22-23 on the VO65, with a Crew 100% Portuguese, no other Projects have accomplished this achievement with the exception of the Bigamist.
This is one of the reasons why the Star Sailors League Gold Cup is so Special for us. A Chance for the Nations to Show Themselves, work as a Team and demonstrate their talent.
