The perfect idea for a company outings in Boston! This is a unique Boston team builder idea for your company outing.  Grab your team and join us aboard Schooner Adirondack III for a team builder in Boston Harbor. This is the best way to bring your team together in a fun and creative way.

On your company outings in Boston, the teams should have 4-6 members and be as equal as possible. Each Group will have a dedicated crew member for safety and training. The event begins with a deck tour which is a safety segment – takes about 20 minutes. All material that is discussed by our team builder leader is used in the competition – so listen up!

 

 

The first game:

“SAIL RAISING”

We (our crew) will demonstrate the procedure. Then the groups will break up to practice using all members of the team to execute the raising.
This is a time contest and team members must choose roles that best use their skills to execute the Sail Raising. The difference in time equates to points. The correctness and completion of the effort is at the captain’s discretion

The second game:

“KNOT TYING”

3 knots are taught privately to 3 separate members of each team. Then, they go back to their team to re-teach each knot to each other. Then there is a “KNOT-OFF” where all teams compete at the same time to tie the knots that are called off at the Captain’s whim. Team members cannot touch each others lines but they can verbally coach each other to do it correctly. The teams will compete for points to be the first team to have all the knots tied correctly. Knots that are incorrectly tied will have negative points.

The last game:

“BOAT PARTS”

Through out the day, parts of the boat are taught by their official nautical name. During this game, teams are to disperse themselves strategically throughout the boat. When the Captain calls out a boat part, the team that has a member to be first to put their hands on that item gets points for their team…

The event ends with a tallying of points and awards.
