Corporate Team Building Sailing Events
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 workday.
- Sailing on San Francisco Bay is an
excellent way to build all aspects of your team.
- We can arrange Corporate Charter trips 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.
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 (June 11, 2008) 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 "Baywolf""
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.
