Why Team Building?


Businesses have always known their success is largely dependent on keeping valued employee’s motivated and productive.

Teamwork with in an organization is an essential function that builds motivation and productivity. More than ever, companies see the value of investing in “team building” exercises to promote high morale, good will, team spirit and friendly competition, all of which carry over in a positive direction in the work environment.

Modern Sailing Academy’s Solution

The Modern Sailing Academy offers a unique team building event designed to obtain these results. The method we choose to build a strong team is sailboat racing. This is the reason. The skills and teamwork needed to race a boat parallel those found in ssuccessful businesses. Both require strong problem solving, communication and team effort to achieve success. Sailing is a fun; safe and exhilarating way to for companies to build positive employee relations that carry over long after the event has ended. And no prior sailing experience is needed.

The Team Building Regatta
Upon arriving at our facility, the group assembles for a lecture style briefing of the day’s events. A facilitator will give an overview of sailing theory, terminology and a breakdown of duties performed on a boat. A detailed explanation of the racecourse and what to expect will be discussed. A supplemental handout highlighting the lecture will be given to each crew.

The group then breaks downs into groups of six and is assigned a US Coast Guard licensed captain with years of bay sailing and instruction experience. After leaving the dock, instructors will work with students on basic maneuvers. As the starting gun goes off and the race commences, student will be in command of the vessels under the watchful eye of the captain. Very quickly they will bond as a team fully appreciating the importance of everyone’s participation. At the end of the race the group will reassemble with a round table discussion of what was learned. Awards and trophies will be presented.
