Training can be either classroom based or can be done onboard a yacht for a
more memorable experience.
Sailing is quite simply the most effective sport at facilitating teambuilding and training. It encompasses all the key ingredients of good teamwork; planning, motivation, delegation, leadership and communication.
We can offer a range of sailing days…
1. A "fun jolly" or "Gin and Tonic" sailing. A day on the water with a professional skipper and as much involvement, physical exertion and training as requested. The boats typically take up to 10 people each. This includes skipper, boat charter, training, safety and wet weather equipment.
Lunch and drinks can be provided at extra cost.
2. The second option is a "Treasure hunt" on the water. Crew would arrive the evening before for a thorough briefing on the following day’s events. The briefing includes weather forecast, tides, boat performance, navigation and tactics. After a night sleeping on board, the team has to work together to plan the route for maximum points. They are then in charge all day, with some friendly advice and a watchful eye from the skipper and a racing lunch. This is an ideal exercise for teambuilding. Again typically 10 people per boat.
Dinner, lunch and drinks provided at extra cost.
3. We also offer our own tailor made program called V.M.G., a tailor made training program. Click on the link to view a sample program.
This is just a sample of what is available. We can also arrange races between several boats or between competitor companies! All sailing days are tailored to client needs and objectives, from staff reward to leadership and teambuilding packages.

"Alex has the most extraordinary leadership skills. He has an innate way of understanding what is required to motivate the team at any given moment. The difference is his blend of expertise, and his unending optimism and energy. Whenever I needed support or a hand, there he was helping out without taking over - the sign of true leadership. Alex has my enormous respect. I have lead teams and facilitated large groups and have never seen it done better."
Sharon Callaghan, Manager British Airways Executive Club
"I sailed over 7000 miles with Alex from Cape Town to Boston in 2005. Our boat was racing hard 24 hours a day and as a watch leader Alex showed a special combination of practical sailing skills, teaching ability and above all calmness under pressure when leading his team through tough conditions. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking an exceptional person to help develop leadership and motivational skills as well of course his undoubted ability in a sailing boat."
Rob Packham QPM, Consultant. Previously Deputy Director General, National Crime Squad
"Possibly the most motivated and positive person I have met."
James Smith, Supply Chain Integration Project Manager, Unilever UK Foods
