Team Building Program

 
Looking for an exciting, dynamic and distinct experience for your team building program? Try Sailing! Sailing is known around the world for its team building capabilities. Sailing builds communication skills in such a way that causes the crew to manage tasks, motivate effectively, interact on many levels, delegate and accept responsibility.

On the sailboats, your group will work closely together to learn and execute simple and complex tasks like tacking the boat, trimming sails for best performance and navigating. Some of your team may be designated race committee and will direct the race. When they've accomplished the skills, the challenge starts! We lead your group through the team building program that you've chosen for them. Your group will have a great time learning to cooperate and participating in friendly competition in a non-threatening environment.

Our programs are designed to quickly break down those communication barriers that so commonly occur. This facilitates participants to work closely together to achieve the goals of their challenge. Bring your group out of their comfort zone and into an exciting adventure. In a fun environment, your group will form new bonds and learn to work together in a setting that promotes open communication and a real team attitude. On the water, everyone participates.

After a lecture-style briefing of the day's events, a facilitator will present an overview of sailing theory, terminology and a breakdown of duties performed on a sailboat.  A detailed explanation of the program will be discussed and support materials will be handed out.  Then the team will board their vessel for their on-the-water mini-sailing course where they will learn their position and put theory into practice.  Then the excitement takes on a whole new level…

The facilitator will lay out your Regatta's course while the skipper's meeting is being held.  Participants will receive the race course handout with instructions then head out to Clarks Cove. The one-day program includes 3 races around the marks, challenging your groups' newly acquired skills. Then gather for an awards ceremony with fun trophies and prizes.

  • No previous sailing experience required! Our US SAILING certified instructors will work with participants in sailing as well as safety equipment and navigation.
     
  • We work with you to insure that your team-building experience accomplishes your goals.
     
  • Each participant has an equal opportunity for participation.
