Putting Together a Team-Building Sailing Mini Regatta Experience
It’s fun to put together match races for team building because sailing is the perfect analogy for demonstrating cross-training. Here’s an outline for what to cover with the inexperienced crew, roles to assign, basic parts of the boat the new crew will need to know, and commands to practice. After that; discuss the weather, set a course, and race! Two out of three short matches is a good goal rather than one prolonged match with only one “winner.” This also allows everyone to swap jobs to experience different roles on the boat.
