CHALLENGE ASSUMPTIONS

CHANGE BEHAVIOUR

clipper-events.com

As corporate days go this has been the best

by far. We discovered a new appreciation for

the amount of team work required to sail a boat

of that size. We thoroughly enjoyed every

minute, absolutely fantastic!

Ocean Safety

Our famous Clipper Round the

World Yacht Race fleet is capable

of hosting between eight and 240

guests at any one time and has

become increasingly popular for

corporations who acknowledge

the synergies between success in

the boardroom and success on the

water and look to stand out from the

competition by offering stakeholders

more than the average team

building experience.

Sailing may be the theme but

developing relationships, business

opportunities and executive talent

is at the heart of what we do.

As a corporate team building

experience, big boat sailing is

not only a thrilling prospect for

participants, it also cultivates team

bonds and collective performance

skills to meet business objectives

back in the office.

Hosting a company-wide regatta

can bring together clients and

employees whilst adding a

competitive edge to the day.

The premier provider of sailing hospitality, team development days and fleet racing, Clipper Events stands out from the crowd.

Leading global financial services, J P Morgan is a long standing client of Clipper Events and the partnership has developed over the past nine years.

Am I more effective in business because of this? Yes definitely. The simple reality

is when you have a relationship with someone things happen more effectively and

efficiently and with a growing network after each event, this efficiency increases

year on year. Not just for myself but for each participant on board each yacht.

MAKE IT A REGATTA

A RIB with independent Race

regatta feel like a professional

yacht race. Host a prize giving

of options, from branded

apparel through to branding

the yacht, you can really make

of our food is sourced through

a local caterer using fresh,

seasonal local produce.

your requirements and exceed your

expectations.

I cannot recommend this world-class experience highly

enough. It was a truly memorable and highly beneficial

event for employees and clients alike. The team building

and bonding opportunities are unique, and many new

skills are learnt whilst taking sole total control of these

world-renowned racing yachts in just a few hours. Do not

INSPIRING CHALLENGING REWARDING

11

On racing yachts things happen quickly and the environment constantly changes. Adapting as a cohesive team is vital to stay competitive.

Challenge preconceived ideas and

roles throughout the team building

process. Building trust, loyalty, effective

communication and leadership are

essential for our yacht’s performance.

TEAM BUILDINGCOMMUNICATION

As a team you’ll need clear and concise

communication to get the best out of these yachts

and ensure smooth sailing.

COOPERATION

With such large sails to hoist, encouragement to

those doing the hard work on the grinder will aid

efficiency and get the boat slicing through the water.

COLLABORATION

You can be the best sailor on the water but however

skilled, no one person can sail one of our yachts

alone. You need your team!

For our business it provided untold

kudos and our association with

Clipper Events provided us with

the right platform to promote our

business. For our guests this was

a day to be remembered, and was

a real win-win.

CLIPPER 70In January 2011 the highly respected naval architect Tony Castro was commissioned to design a new fleet to take the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race to the next level.

Tony Castro’s new Clipper 70 forms

the third generation of Clipper racing yachts.

His design is an exciting one, perfectly suited

for both racing round the world and for

competitive inshore racing. The new yachts

were built in China and have been fitted out

by UK and International suppliers.

All in all it should provide its crews

with the experience of a lifetime, the

fun and pleasure of sailing an ocean

racing yacht and bring them home with

unforgettable memories. Remember:

memories are better than dreams...

Tony Castro on the Clipper 70s

The design objective was quite simple. We wanted a large, strong, fast and seaworthy yacht that

would race around the world at least 4 times. The boats have more than lived up to our expectations.

They have proved fast and reliable and given their crews some very exciting sailing through some of

the most dangerous waters in the world. It is heart-warming to see the yachts regularly out on the

water and giving so much pleasure to new and novice sailors.
