The expedition is divided to four Parts:

Part I -    Summer 2016 /Cruising the footsteps of Portuguese Explolers

PartIV – Spring 2017/Explolers Comeback

            Sailing was one of the main drivers of the development of European culture and civilization. As space exploration in the 20th century have contributed to advances in technology, so the Portuguese expedition initiated the development of navigation, advances in technology in shipbuilding, and by the way the discovery of new lands, and the recognition of previously unknown species of flora and fauna. This in turn made it possible to draw a new map of our New World.

We decided to take as patrons of the various legs of our next expedition in the 2016/2017 year, the most famous sailors of past eras.

We will start In May from Albuferia in the Algarve with crew set off under the patronage of João Gonçalves Zarco heading for Madeira and the Azores. From the beginning of October 2016 years we sail from Cabo Verde on the Atlantic route of Amerigo Vespucci, would soon wrap to Receive in Brazil and then to Riode Janeiro. In 2017 year we will sail to Antarctica. So the British sailors, including the famous Captain Drake, and captains  Fitzroy and Ernest Shackleton will patronize the  Antarctic cruises.

Sailing with the Association of Concept Sailing yacht s / y Nashachata II will allow you to get to know these new, for many of you unfamiliar lands and look at them for a while from the perspective of our great predecessors.
