Typical Sail Program
Day Sail
With a thorough briefing in yacht safety and an overview of its operation, the team will go straight to the water for a practical session in sailing. The second half of the day will require high performance team skills as the group will have to cope with a demanding team challenge. Typical tasks involve navigating and controlling the boat around a set course, reinforcing skills learnt in earlier sessions. Exciting, taxing and mentally demanding, this team activity will reveal the group's leaders, team players and communicators.

Your group will have an invigorating day out whilst focusing on the key skills involved for high team performance.
