➞ Our Project
Our mission is to highlight young Belgian sailing talent and propel them towards excellence in the world of sailing.
We are providing a state-of-the-art boat, which will be used in the professional antechamber of ocean racing. Our aim is to provide a talented young sailor with the opportunity to shine on the oceans, without the constraints associated with budgetary considerations.
At Be Sailing, we are aware that the search for funding can be an arduous and time-consuming task for a young sailor aspiring to excellence. That's why we've chosen to remove this constraint by making our latest-generation boat available. By doing so, we are enabling young Belgian talent to concentrate fully on their training and education, without having to worry about the financial aspects.

How and where do vocations arise?
There are numerous theoretical perspectives to address this question. For Romain Van Enis, however, it all began with a simple act of surfing on YouTube.
"In a video, I saw three Mini 6.50s sailing at full speed off Groix. I thought, 'wow.'
From that moment on, I consistently steered my life choices toward the goal of succeeding one day in ocean racing, explains Romain. After making his initial maneuvers and earning medals in Optimist, Spirou, and sports catamaran (Hobie Cat Max and Viper F16) on the Brussels canal and Lake Genval, he left his native country to settle in Brittany.
There, he immersed himself in ocean racing and underwent training in the nautical sector. Currently working as a rigger with Iroise Riggings in Lorient, he has already realized a part of his dream by lining up at the start of the Mini Transat 2023. However, he had to temper his ambitions due to a setback—breaking his spreader in the mid-Atlantic.
In the seven races he completed over the last two seasons in the Mini 6.50 class, Romain consistently finished in the top eight, even securing a victory in the Chrono 6.50 2022.
Looking ahead to 2024, Romain will be at the helm of Be Saling's Mini Pogo Foiler, harboring significant ambitions.
