LUSÍADAS SAÚDE PORTO SAILING 2021

The iconic sailing event in Northern Portugal is back! This year it presents itself as ‘More than a Regatta,’ find out everything!

On September 18th and 19th, one of the most emblematic sailing events in northern Portugal returns to the Douro Marina. BBDouro, with the sponsorship of Lusíadas Saúde, which is reinforcing its commitment to national sport, invites you to take part in Lusíadas Saúde Porto Sailing 2021, an event that brings together the 11th edition of the Regata do Infante, for cruising boats, and the 2nd edition of the Women on Water Regatta, an event contested by female crews in SB20 boats, which will serve as a national qualifier for the world final in this category.
Furthermore, BBDouro and Lusíadas Saúde have taken on the challenge of being more inclusive and environmentally conscious. Therefore, this year, the sports event goes beyond a regular regatta. Prepared to welcome everyone, considering different characteristics and limitations, this event emphasizes environmental preservation and awareness, as well as supporting the development of the local community.
Lusíadas Saúde Porto Sailing 2021 has an agenda prepared for sailing enthusiasts, but also for everyone who wants to come, get to know and be impacted. We can all be more inclusive and aware. Do you accept the challenge?

Your safety is very important to us. Find out here all the information about our Covid-19 procedure.

NOTICES

16 SEPTEMBER 2021

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are unable to hold the usual skippers’ meeting at the Sport Club do Porto and Yate Clube do Porto venues.

Consequently, the meeting will take place at the scheduled time – 9:30 PM – at Douro Marina, in a tent next to the Marina building, on the West side.

During this meeting, all necessary information for participating in the regatta will be provided, and any related clarifications will be addressed.

TALK: Are You Up for the Challenge of Being Inclusive and Conscious?

On Saturday from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, Douro Marina will host the talk “Are You Up for the Challenge of Being Inclusive and Conscious?” Brought to you by Lusíadas Saúde.
