What the ralliers said...
Fair Encounter (GBR), Westerly Corsair
"Rally Portugal is a very friendly and sociable way to reach the Algarve from the UK with good sailing between well spread ports - so good we've done it twice.”  
Dances with Waves (GBR), Westerly Oceanranger
"One cannot estimate how important it was to have the Rally Support at first hand. For a first time buyer of a boat who was experiencing a first long passage it has given me confidence and piece of mind taking on the very important duties of a skipper."
Andiamo (GBR), Beneteau Oceanis 423
"Top marks, excellent organisation throughout the whole trip. The rally was very well organised in all aspects. The Rally dinners were 1st Class, the other boats were all very friendly and a lot of friends were made."
Twister II (SWE) Sweden Yachts 42
"The Rally exceeded our expectations by far, and is a great way to cruise Portugal. Every body should try it."
Lara (GBR) Feeling 446
"A well organised, value for money program which reduces the red tape and the stress of such a trip."
