LOCKDOWN TRAINING
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, he combined his strength and cardio training at home with simulating his position on the boat with the help of a tree. "One day, I realised there were two big trees in the open space of my building. I then remembered a Swiss sailor who had hung himself from a tree to simulate the position we have in relation to the water. I asked the building for permission and then went on with a batch of wires. It was fun because there were two boys who were watching open-mouthed when I put a wire on a seven-metre tall tree. They must have thought I was crazy." (abola.pt, 27 Apr 2020)

CREWMATE
He and his sailing partner Jorge Lima began competing together in the 49er class in 2008. (Facebook team page, 27 Aug 2019)
