We have years of experience with corporate sailing events. We will
tailor your sailing event to the needs of your team:
- We can organize a tightly structured "team building" event or
provide a less structured event. Both type of events allow your team
to enjoy themselves and spend quality time together away from the
stresses of the office.
- Sailing on San Francisco Bay is an excellent way to build all
aspects of your team.
- A perfect way to strengthen relationships with key clients.
- We can arrange Corporate Sailing Charters for parties of 6 to 60 -
call us to discuss.
- We have two fast, performance racing boats. It is much more fun to
sail on fast boats that are well-maintained, responsive and designed
to win.
- Bay Wolf (Santa Cruz 50) is available for groups up to 25
passengers.
- San Francisco Pickup - We can arrange to pick up and drop off at
Pier 40 in San Francisco - call us for details
Bay Wolf - Team Challenge
We are thrilled with how well Bay Wolf (our Santa Cruz 50) is
working for Corporate team-building events. The boat is spacious,
fast, comfortable and a total blast to sail. There is no better boat
on San Francisco Bay. One recent CEO (May 2010) was so impressed
with the trip for his senior management, that he booked the boat 2
days later for another trip and booked a 3rd trip for July 2010. All
three trips were events to remember.
Angel Island Barbeque
We can arrange a team-building sailing event that concludes with a
barbeque on Angel Island. We recently completed a 3-boat event for a
Swedish medical company and it was wonderful We had great sailing,
excellent food and a wine-tasting on the island. Call us if you are
interested in a Angel Island Barbeque. Our Corporate Team
Building events focus on Communication, Problem Solving and Team
Competition:
- Communication:
San Francisco sailing builds effective communication.
We will train each team member in different positions (trimming
sails, steering, calling tactics, etc). Then we will change
positions to let everyone have a chance at the different positions.
The crew members' have fun while learning new skills. Captain Kirk
is an excellent instructor with very effective teaching and sailing
skills. His enthusiasm for sailing will help the team enjoy the day.
- Problem Solving:
As the team develops an understanding of the boat
we may begin drills such as Man-overboard drills. In the case of the
MOB drill, the team must retrieve a float dropped into the water
with the boat under sail. This is a difficult task and often
requires several attempts. Effective communication and problem
solving are required.
- Team Competition:
Once the crew has learned some skills, then we go
looking for other boats to race. For events of two boats or more,
the final task is a race across the Bay. Flying Tiger and Baywolf
are both fast boast and we often catch and pass other boats.
We can arrange a tightly structured event with serious team-building
race, or a more relaxed event that allows people to simply enjoy the
scenery. On all trips everyone gets an opportunity to sail the
boats. Both Captain Brian and Captain Kirk are experienced sailing
instructors and we can teach anyone to sail. Benefits: The benefits of effective communication and
problem-solving are important to all teams. Sailing "Flying Tiger"
and "Bay Wolf"" on San Francisco Bay is an excellent way to
strengthen your existing team. Some of the less obvious benefits
include time to develop effective personal connections with team
members. Many times during the sailing and discussions, team members
find a common connection with a team member that never surfaces in
the workplace. These bonds are important. Enjoy sailing a fast racing yacht and also improve your team. |
