How it works
The Harbour Challenge is a tried and tested strategy that focuses upon developing effective teamwork and leadership in a testing but highly rewarding environment. Teams enjoy a half day on board a racing yacht under the guidance of an experienced skipper. Crews begin the event by developing a strategy that will enable them to win points across three key areas:

1. By sailing past chosen navigation marks in the Harbour area
2. By rotating key roles on board the yacht
3. By demonstrating agreed behaviours, effective teamwork and leadership

The crew’s strategy will be based on wind speed and direction, current and strengths of the team. Successful teams plan meticulously, train to specific objectives, communicate clearly before and during the challenge but adapt quickly to the changing environment of the Harbour.

Success however, is ultimately linked to behaviour and the key to success is understanding that there is a clear link between performance and culture - hierarchies must be put to one side and teams must learn that every member of the team has a specific and valuable strength that if identified early can lead to victory!

Sydney Harbour
Sydney Harbour plays host to the start of the most famous and toughest offshore yachting race in the world, The Rolex Sydney to Hobart. With the city situated on the shore of the largest natural harbour in the world you are within minutes of boarding your yachts. The protection of North and South Head creates the perfect sailing area for your corporate sailing events. Whilst sailing you will have an opportunity to take in the spectacular views that Sydney Harbour has to offer. Not to mention the chance to drop anchor in one of the many bays to cool off with a swim over your lunch time stop.
