TEAM BUILDING events are a great way to build up team cohesion and to develop stronger team relationships. Face to face time in this day and age, especially in the open air of stunning Sydney Harbour, is critical for the efficiency and effectiveness of a work force.
OUR REGATTA'S are fun, safe and exciting with groups being broken up into teams ranging from 7-15 people (we can cater for up to 400 people!)
CORPORATE REGATTAS follow a similar format and are the perfect way to entertain CLIENTS visiting our beautiful SYDNEY HARBOUR or to increase team cohesion, efficiency and morale. We like to be as flexible as possible for our corporate clients, meaning we can cater to any of your unique requirements.
TEAM WORK is critical when racing a sailing yacht. Teams quickly learn the importance of Team Work and Communication, with our Skippers onboard to encourage everyone's participation. There is great camaraderie on board each yacht, with every crew member pulling their weight.
SAFETY all of our Team Building Events conduct a safety briefing followed by crew role allocation and team practice..then the racing begins.
