Lifting out and overwintering cat in Algarve/Spain

[greenscombe]

We're currently sailing down the west coast of Portugal and want to take our boat out to work on it from about mid October/ over Winter. Problem - it's a Lagoon 38 catamaran with 21' 5'' beam. Please can anybody suggest a marina/ yard with suitable facilities for lifting out/ overwintering anywhere in the Algarve or Spanish Med. coast.
Many thanks.

Portimao; the boatyard not the marina although they are run in tandem.

Off topic, but you did make me wonder who sailed down the east coast of Portugal /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Oh, and a warm welcome to the forum from a fellow cat sailor

Campello, north of alicante has some facilities. overnighting was cheap enough but couldnt comment on overwintering.

Thanks for that info. I've attempted to follow it up with the Portimao boat yard but it seems that the max. width that they can cope with for lifting out is 6.2 metres and our cat's beam 6.5m. If they are actually capable of lifting out anything wider I'd love to know about it as something may have been lost during our Anglo-Portuguese conversation over the phone.
Also - apologies to you re-imperial/metric mix.
