Sara Leal
She started her offshore adventure with a bang: crossed the Atlantic Ocean from the Canary Islands to Martinique. Since then, she also had the opportunity to explore sailing in the bright waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Her favourite spot is to be on the open bathing platform of the sailing vessel enjoying the sunlight.
She is an avid multitasker, with a great ability to turn ideas into reality, and happy to be applying a diverse variety of skills to co-steering Sailngmint.
She's motivated to improve her sailing skills for when, together with Alex, they set sail to fulfill the dream of circumnavigating.

Our vision
We believe sailing is a wonderful experience that allows people to connect with nature meaningfully. It's possible to find comfort in a beautiful landscape, mindfulness in an endless horizon of waves and even a sense of adventure and respect when moving through the sea.
We also believe that sailing should be as enjoyable and accessible as possible and we aim to give the possibility to as many people as possible to experience this beautiful style for vacation and life.
