Following the Mission of the Marina de Lagos Sailing Academy, is held annually the trophy Lagos Marina Sailing Challenge for sailing teams who wish to participate in a competitive and fun event.
The race is part of the regional regattas calendar and has a fleet race format, in which teams are drawn by the boats of the fleet, making the team skills the determinant factor for success. This format allows, per event, a number of teams higher than the number of boats and all teams compete with each other.
