About
The Optimist beginner course at Clube Náutico de Almada, on the Tagus by Cacilhas. Kids learn to sail a single-handed Optimist dinghy on their own, through classroom theory and time on the water. The aim is independence: reading the wind, making their own decisions and handling setbacks afloat. Kids who want more can move on to other boat classes and racing; some of the club's sailors compete in the national rankings.
