SAILING CONDITIONS / RACING AREAS

Cascais has proven over the years to have some of the best conditions for yacht racing in Europe. Typically the wind ranges from light to low twenties knots and from different quarters over the period of the Winter Series. With less than half an hour to reach any of the main racing areas Cascais offers varied sailing conditions, with flat water and shiftier winds closer in the bay and larger ocean swells with more stable wind patterns further out west. The weather is normally warm with long sunny spells and an air temperature ranging from minimum 12/15ºC in winter to 20ºC + in the fall and early spring.

RACE COMPLETION RECORD

With the events scheduled for three days each, it is important to have a good prospect of wind. In the past Cascais Winter Series achieved a 79% completion rate!

Over the last 10 years, a 97% success rate completion was reached for the Grade I event HM King Juan Carlos I Trophy!

FULL SERIES ENTRY FEE OF €1000

The entry fee of €1000 for the full series of 6 events includes outdoor parking in the enclosed premises of the Club, and cranage for the full period from November 1^st 2017 to April 30^th 2018.
