Recommendation for a team building day afloat

[Wyndsong]

My brother has asked me to find a company on the Solent which will do a good team building day for about 12 of them.

My only experience of this sort of gig is with Sunsail. Someone else has mentioned Solent Sail. Any recommendations for alternatives?

Thanks

You might try Solent Yacht Charter, based in Haslar Marina, Gosport.
But then I have a vested interest.

Donno about Solent but in Finland in the Northern corner of Gulf of Botnia is interesting program for team building.http://www.sampotours.com/pages/kielet/english/image-gallery.php

Hamble School of Yachting. They made a great custom package for 10 of us, although it was some years ago now...
No connection, just a satisfied customer.

totally depends on budget, but there are old Volvo 60s based out of Ocean village that are good, and I also happen to know that Alex Thompson's Hugo Boss open 60 will be available for corporate charter in June and July. That's dropping serious coin though.

If budgets are more limited there are various options, but for 12 I'd be tempted into a mini regatta on team origin's fleet of J80s. You'll be much more involved with the sailing than on bigger boats.

No connection etc.....

I can't resist this.

In a former life I worked for a major Scottish financial institution (and I use that word advisedly). Our team of eight went on a three day 'Team Building' exercise at Dalmahoy just outside Edinburgh.

We did some brain storming sessions...some Golf (Scotland remember), ate some nice food, and generally chilled out in a teamy sort of way.

At 4 pm on the friday as I was getting ready to go to the airport to fly home to Leeds three of the team (not me) were taken aside and given their redundancy notices. The rest of the team (and many hundreds more) got theirs about six months later.

Team building...don't talk to me about team building /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif (I can laugh as its a long time ago..it wasn't very funny then)

I thought Team-Building had gone the way of all great US ideas?

Load of corporate bollocks to make you think you are valued and keep down those with any individual qualities.
