Matched Racing

Are you looking for a corporate day with a twist? Something special to really create a long-lasting impression?  Is your group quite competitive?

If this sounds like what you are looking for, a matched-boat racing day with Sailing Logic provides an exciting activity day in the Solent. Great fun and with a brilliant racing twist, your employees or clients will be talking about this for months to come!

Matched racing involves using 2 or more identical boats - as the boats are the same, the difference in racing performance is down to the crews, so no unfair advantages can be claimed!

Your teams spend the morning learning how to sail the yacht as a crew. We provide onbaord deli-style lunches to maximise time on the water, then the afternoon is spent racing against each other in 2 or 3 short races! We recommed the Reflex 38, Beneteau 40.7 or new First 40, of which we can provide a fleet of upto 12 boats!

Two boats racing against each other over a short course is fun, entertaining and exhilarating. The added element of competition provides a great twist and the banter will continue well after the day has finished, providing a memorable day for staff or clients.

5 ways a Sailing Day can boost team performance 

Team sailing days are more than just great fun - they actually improve team and company performance. Sailing, especially with the added twist of racing, provides the perfect environment to develop a high-performance team. Here's how...

1. Breaking Down Barriers. The group team will have to work together throughout the day, to trust each other and to communicate regardless of their work-place hierarchy, roles and interactions. People will form bonds and speak to colleagues they may have never spoken to before! This opens the flow of communication in the workplace - leading to a more effective way of working.

2. Employee Engagement. Everyone gets involved in learning how to sail and race the yacht. When people feel involved and included, they are more engaged in the activity, participate more actively, generate new ideas and make a positive contribution. This feeling of engagement is transferred back to the workplace.
