Neste barco à vela was the Portuguese entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1987 in Brussels performed by the duo Nevada. They were joined on stage by backing singers Carla Burity and Fernanda Lopes. The song is in praise of Portugal itself. The two singers describe their "overfull boat" which apparently has a "childish look" as travelling on a "path of hope". It was performed 8th on the night following Italy and preceding Spain. At the close of voting, it finished in 18th place with 15 points.
