Jorge Manuel Roxo Martins de Lima (born January 29, 1981 in Cascais) is a Portugal sailor, who specialized in men's skiff (49er) class.[1] He represented Portugal, along with his partner Francisco Andrade, at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and has also been training for Cascais Naval Club (Portuguese: Clube Naval de Cascais) throughout most of his sporting career under his personal coach Pedro Pinto.[2] As of September 2014, Lima is ranked twenty-fourth in the world for the men's skiff class by the International Sailing Federation, following his successes at the European Championships, and 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships in Santander, Spain.[3]

Lima qualified as a skipper for the Portuguese squad in the 49er class at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing by placing twelfth and receiving a berth from the World Championships in Melbourne, Australia.[4][5] Teaming with crew member Francisco Andrade in the opening series, the Portuguese duo recorded a net score of 100 points to establish an eleventh-place finish in a fleet of nineteen boats, narrowly missing a spot for the medal race by France's Emmanuel Dyen and Yann Rocherieux by a single grade.[6][7]

At the 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships in Santander, Spain, Lima and his new partner José Costa set their best career record with a fabulous, fifth-place finish in the men's 49er class to secure a spot on the Portuguese sailing team for the 2016 Summer Olympics.[3][8]
