| Experience: 1 day sailexperience The day starts at 10 o'clock. Still at the pontoon we will practice the different sailing manoeuvres, explain what makes a sailingboat sail and brief you about safety issues. In the sheltered waters of the river we practice steering and sailhandling. The anchor is dropped for a lunchbreak. The afternoon we spend on the ocean, sailing towards the magnificent rocks of Piedade. On the way back to Marina de Portimao we hoist the big gennaker, and experience the thrill of high speed sailing.    The Algarve Ocean book out now!  Location We sail from Marina de Portimao. Situated on the river Arade, in the middle of the western Algarve, we are part of the best sailing area of Europe. We have wind, less to the east, more towards the west. Not extremely hot in the summer, and mild during winter.  It's the same location as chosen by the Dutch sailing elite. Portimao was the trainingsbase for the succesfull ABNAMRO Volvo 70 campaign. The Dutch Olympic sailingteam trained here for their Chinese Olympic medals. And in preparation for the next Olympics in the UK again the Portimao waters have been choosen as trainings and preparation ground.
