Look up United States Navy, they will make you a "professional" sailor in every sense of hte word. You will be recognized around the world as one of the finest & fittest on the water. Chance are real good at some point in the first 4 years you will wind up in the L.A. area, actually it's a place called San Diego. Best of luck to you.
 
A few years ago my Brother took a One week, on site course down in San Diego. Finding them through Google maybe?
 
Pedro...what are your goals. Are you planning to operate a charter, charter yourself, buy a sailboat, crew or captain deliveries? I can help you once I know what you are try to attain.

Best regards

Pedro:

Always remember - there is no substitute for experience. Get out there and start sailing on as many boats as possible.
 
Pedro, I would think that any of the ASA ( American Sailing Association )clubs in the L.A. area would be the best ones for you to try. They are recognized the world over as having one of the best sailing lesson courses available.

Just do an internet search for the one nearest to where you will be staying in L.A. You may also do some research in Portugal for clubs that have sailing student interchange programs with the American ones.
