Cascais

The picturesque coastal town of Cascais, Portugal, known as an iconic sailing venue on the west coast of Europe, is set to welcome the Melges 15 Class. The events will be run out of Clube Naval de Cascais, a venue that has previously hosted ISAF worlds, America's Cup events, and, more recently, the TP52 World Championships.

Cascais offers easy access to warm-weather winter sailing. A 25€ Uber from Lisbon Airport takes travelers to Cascais in 25 minutes.

There is no shortage of accommodation options from 5-star hotels to Airbnbs within a short walk to the venue. With great golf courses, mountain biking, surfing, historic monuments, and amazing food, sailors, family, and friends can expect great fun and memories on and off the water.
