Biography
Francisco Rebello de Andrade took up sailing in the 1940s and competed at several editions of the World Championships, but his greatest moment on the international scene came at the 1952 Summer Olympics. There, alongside Joaquim Fiúza, he won a bronze medal in the Star Class tournament after having performed relatively consistently throughout the event.
Rebello de Andrade retired from active competition following this achievement, citing his desire to spend more time with his family and live a quiet life away from the spotlight. He continued to sail recreationally after the Games, however, and, by career, ran a handful of sailing schools that he founded.
