TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITY
The group is inspired by the philosophy of team work and sets goals. Roles are shared and the successful result is shared accordingly. Sailing Race is based on this necessity of that union of forces, the division of work and ultimately the participation of all in the outcome.
Strap on your lifejacket for this exciting teambuilding event!
Teams depart from the marina and head toward the starting location. Along the way, their very own Captain instructs team members in the basics of sailing. After all the regatta boats reach a predetermined point, the race back to the marina begins!
Based on group size, teams may race with big (50”) or small (36”) captained sailboats. A typical race will last 4 hours. The race will end with a Traditional Regatta Party…
Why Sailing?
• The yachtsman has an unlimited terrain since the field of play is the sea. He has a contact with nature and the elements that no other sport would offer.
• A sport that does not inspire fanaticism and hooliganism but promotes fair play.
• The yachtsman, is constantly analyzing with his mind strategies that will enable them to exploit more well the changes of the wind, and uses rules of hydrodynamics and aerodynamics to get better speeds with the boat.
• Contact with the sea offers such relaxing to the soul, which, despite the physical fatigue that has one after a workout or a race, he feels well turning back to shore.
• Receives the everyday problems that he left on the pier, before sailing out, for much more lightly.
• A crew in an offshore vessel is like a machine with gears properly functioning based on coordination between the sprockets. One is based on another and all together based on their vessels.
