Cup in a Day Team Building and Hospitality Corporate Sailing Event on the Solent

The cup in a day sailing event captures the Spirit of the Americas Cup. EMG in partnership with the World Match Racing Tour have created a unique team building sailing day or hospitality corporate sailing event based on the Solent. To celebrate the success of the Americas Cup this sailing event is designed to offer the thrills and spills of high drama yacht racing and the buzz of close competition combined with a luxury hospitality motorboat charter all in a single day! 

This is a new concept for  water based hospitality and team building events as it offers many things in one day; the hospitality of the luxury motorboat “mother ship” while each team watches their rivals race, the excitement of match racing and the thrill of the high speed RIB’s. After a thrilling finale on the water the boats return to land where a champagne prize giving will take place.

We provide a luxury motorboat mother ship capable of taking the team(s) who will spectate while the other teams are battling it out on the race course. The race teams are made up of a maximum of 8 guests and each team will be rotated throughout the day as we go through the knockout competition on the race yachts. We will use high speed RIB’s to transfer guests from the mother ship to the race yachts.

Racing for the “your company” Cup, teams will take to the water aboard identical racing yachts with a professional skipper and crew. Each team will have a brief race training session followed by the first round of racing. The races will be short windward/leeward courses lasting no more than 30 minutes each.

This unique sailing event format is designed to give guests the experience of sailing their yacht in a close, competitive match racing environment where the tactics at the start are all important. It has been designed to cater for all ages and abilities and sailing experience is not required.
