Clever Yachting Sailing Courses
Why following a Clever Yachting sailing course in the Algarve?
The climate:
Due to the Algarve's position, it can almost be guaranteed that students will follow
their course in perfect sailing conditions. The average sunshine over the years is
almost 90% and the Algarvian coastline can count on many days with a perfect
wind for sailing. Together with day time temperatures between 16 (Winter) and
35 degrees Celsius (Summer) the sailing courses are held throughout the year.
The location:
The Marina de Portimão, the home port of Clever Yachting is a magnificent
development. The Marina boasts all modern Marina facilities. It has its own
exclusive beach, a 4 Star Hotel, swimming pools and a beautiful promenade full
of restaurants, bars, clubs and shops.
The philosophy behind the sailing course:
The "basic ideas" behind the Sailing Courses of Clever Yachting differ from most
of the other available courses and these are:
- you will be staying in a 4 Star Hotel or Apartment with swimming pool near the
beach (instead of sharing the accommodation on the yacht with "strangers")
- accommodation for your partner or your family member is free
- your partner can enjoy beach, golf, horse riding, surfing etc. , while you attend
the sailing course.
- after the daily Happy Hour on board (your partner is welcome!) you will free to
enjoy a private evening.
Maximum number of students per sailing course: 5
The courses take place on the Clever Clipper, a Stern 41, moored in the Marina of
Portimão, starting on a Monday and ending on Friday evening.

* Tailor Made Sailing Courses
This Sailing Course is tailor made to suit sailors that need to practice or relearn
specific aspects of sailing that they feel they are lacking or unsure of. Our
qualified and experienced skippers will be more than happy to instruct you for as
long as it takes for you to get it right. It is up to you to decide how many days you
will need. The minimum is 1 day.
This Sailing Course is also of value for those sailing dinghies and wish to
experience the sailing techniques on a larger vessel, such as the Clever Clipper
Stern 41.
If you are thinking of joining a Regatta and have no experience in racing, this
Sailing Course will help you in understanding how to get the best out of your
yacht:
- trimming your sails
- fast tacking
- flying a spinnaker
- weather and tide influences
- crew organization
