A nonprofit sailing and canoeing club founded in 1975, based on the Tejo riverfront at Cacilhas, across the river from Lisbon. It is the only club in Almada devoted to sailing and canoeing.
Its sailing school runs all year with instructors certified by the Portuguese Sailing Federation. Kids from 8 start in Optimist dinghies, sailing a boat on their own, and some go on to race nationally.
