10th António Champalimaud Trophy Regatta

As always this event was organised in collaboration with the Lisbon Naval Association (ANL).

With a record number of 60 boats participating, this Sunday the wind played a trick on us with a “no show”. Nevertheless, due to the expertise of the skippers and respective crews, all boats managed to reach the finishing line. Staying true to the regatta's spirit and traditions, around 16 Champalimaud Foundation collaborators were able to participate as “kind helpers” or experienced sailors.
