Win to Diogo Costa/Pedro Costa at 2015 Vilamoura Carnival Regatta
A critical event for the 420 teams hoping to be selected to represent Portugal at this year's 420 Junior European Championships, 420 World Championships and ISAF Youth Sailing World Championships.
As the second of a series of national ranking events, a top performance was key over the three days of racing.
No problem for Diogo Costa/Pedro Costa who made their racing look easy, wrapping up the 9-race series win with a 10 point lead over Spain's Enrique Lujan Mora/Pablo Lujan Mora. Third to Portugal's Manuel Palacio Pinaze/Alfredo Pareja.
First girls team were Mafalda Pires de Lima/Marta Melo who finished in 6th overall. Top junior team in 4th overall went to Tomás Barreto/João Prieto, and the first under-17 team were Miguel Santos/Manuel Pimenta in 16th overall.
The next Portuguese qualifying event will be the Portugal Junior and Open Championship which will take place from the 31 March-4 April 2015 in Sesimbra.
