Activity: Clipper Sailing Industry Series 2011
Sail a Clipper round the world yacht in the Clipper Sailing Industry Series 2011
Ideal for team building or engaging with clients
You're invited to enter teams to race on Clipper's 68 foot round the world racing yachts and compete in the 2011 Clipper Industry Series.
The Clipper Industry Series is about bringing teams and clients from industry sectors together for a competitive day of racing on the Clipper 68-foot round the world race yachts. The events promise competitive racing, whilst giving the chance to engage with colleagues, clients and industry peers in an informal and friendly environment. The event presents a natural team building and business networking environment, ensuring business objectives can be met.
Background
The Clipper Industry Series started in 2007 with the Clipper Finance Cup to offer a fun but compelling business to business environment, and to raise funds for charitable causes. By February 2011 the Series, through the generosity of its competitors, had raised in excess of £334,000 for charity and continues to grow from strength to strength. The Series attracts leaders from the worlds of finance, hedge funds, mobile communications, construction, cards and payments and automobiles, who enter both to experience racing on the globally unique Clipper fleet and to develop relationships with clients and engage with key stakeholders.
No prior experience is necessary as full training will be provided by our professional skippers and mates.
The Format
Following a welcome briefing and breakfast, each team will spend the morning learning to sail the Clipper 68-foot yachts under the guidance of Clipper's professional round the world race training skippers and mates.
The racing will begin in the afternoon with a number of matched races between the fleet. Whilst racing, skippers and mates will take a back seat but will be on hand to offer strategic racing advice and ensure everyone's safety.
Regatta Timekeeper
Nautica Watches is welcomed back for the fourth consecutive year as the Clipper Industry series official timekeeper. Each member of the winning team will receive one of their stunning timepieces.
The Business of Sailing
The winning boat is always crewed by the team that works best together. In the same way, in business the most successful corporations are those in which the team works together seamlessly with a clear focus. Whether you are using the event to get closer to your clients, build teams or network, sailing on the yachts that compete in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is an effective way of developing relationships in business.
