It is a known and accepted fact that outdoor activities forge stronger bonds and leadership qualities among people. Out of all these activities, the marine environment offers special advantages. A yacht at sea is a completely isolated social system and people on board cannot escape into their comfort zones - instead they have to face situations as they arise. In this respect the "yacht crew system" can be called a microcosm of society, isolated and greatly intensified. In this manner management strengths can be enhanced, weaknesses addressed and conflicts resolved. The company benefits further,with management learning to cope with stress and rapid change. This background theory supports the fact that sailing offers a powerful vehicle for team building, leadership, communication and motivation.
