RALLY PORTUGAL
Yachting Monthly Rally Portugal is an event for cruising yachts and motor boats wishing to cross the Bay of Biscay and to explore the coast of Portugal whilst enjoying sailing in warm sunny waters. By combining a crossing of Biscay in company, with coastal cruising and activities ashore in Portugal, the Rally has plenty to offer everyone from the experienced long distance cruiser, to those sailing out of home waters for the first time. A duration of three weeks makes the Rally ideal for a summer off-shore cruise, or as the start of an extended voyage to the Mediterranean, across the Atlantic, or even around the World.
