Léna Corbel, 27, runs a full-time job and a Mini 6.50 campaign on a production boat. Training out of La Turballe, boat work on weekends, 4,050 solo miles starting 26 September 2027 — and a logbook that tells the whole story, unfiltered.
Every euro is allocated and visible: boat, sails, safety gear, race entries, deliveries. The full breakdown is in the sponsor deck — and progress is updated here, publicly.
No polished PR: the honest account of a campaign run alongside a job. Weekends on the dock, qualification miles, gear decisions, a budget filling up in public. That is what partners join: a true story, published regularly.

A Mini campaign is sailing sponsorship at an accessible scale: a few thousand euros, a skipper who answers her own phone, and an authentic story to share with your clients and teams all the way to Saint-François, Guadeloupe.
