The campaign was initiated by Lennart Burke and Melwin Fink to participate in some of the most famous ocean races with a professional team. A Class40 boat was an obvious choice after the sucessfull completion of a MiniTransat in 2021. The moto of the campaign "Think Big - Think Social" is not just an empty catchphrase but will be a core element of the project. The next logical step after the Class40 would be an Imoca - Vendee Globe 2028 participation.
The campaign is still lacking a main sponsor. So if you have someone in mind, please spread the word.

Lennart and Melwin are young professional sailors who proved that they can not only steer sailboats but also execute complex campaigns such as forming a team, find sponsors, organising logistics and handle other unexpected challenges. That's why we, at Elia Bay, decided to order a new Class 40 S4 #6 from Pogo Structures for the campaign even before its financing was secured by signed sponsor contracts.
