**Duarte Manuel de Almeida Bello** (26 July 1921 – 3 June 1994) was a Portuguese sailor who competed at the 1948, 1952, 1956, 1960 and 1964 Olympics.[1] He won a silver medal in the [Swallow class](/source/Swallow_(keelboat)) in 1948, together with his brother [Fernando Pinto Coelho Bello](/source/Fernando_Pinto_Coelho_Bello), and placed fourth in 1952 and 1956.[2]

Bello also raced [Star](/source/Star_(sailboat)) class keelboats, winning silver medals at the 1953 and 1962 [World Championship](/source/Star_World_Championships), and a bronze in 1952. He was known as an equipment innovator who invented several devices, including automatic "Bello bailers" in 1954, and the circular boom-vang track at the early 1960s.[3]

## Early childhood

Duarte was born in colonial [Maputo](/source/Maputo%2C_Mozambique) to Duarte Mendes de Almeida Bello and Maria do Pilar Pinto Coelho on 26 July 1921. Through a clerical error, the M which should have been Mendes as per his father became Manuel.

At 7 years of age his family moved back to Portugal,[4] where he began sailing the Sharpie.

In 1943, he married Maria Antonia Carneiro Bustorff Silva, daughter of one of Portugal's most prominent lawyers of the time, as well as a sailor. He was a Civil Engineer by education and worked in the national rail line [Comboios de Portugal](/source/Comboios_de_Portugal).
