This Saturday, August 26, the Business Sailing League returns to the waters around the Sopot pier. On the start list this time six crews, representatives of various businesses from different parts of Polish. The new partner of the League is Olivia Business Centre, which will also enter its own crew, including the Olympic champion Mateusz Kusznierewicz.

– Our Olympic medalist will not be the helmsman of the OBC crew, because the League is amateur by definition and professionals cannot steer. Nevertheless, the master’s hints will definitely be a great boost for the crew. We have already had such cases in previous editions, where Zbigniew Gutkowski was a member of the crew. Crews supported by the best sailors are always among the favourites, but it is not said that they have to win. Personally, I’m counting on the D.A.D / Security Expert team, which will start in the League for the fourth time in a row and this experience will definitely pay off. – emphasizes Rafał Sawicki from GSC Yachting, the organizer of the League.

This time, the competition will be conducted in one group, so all four rounds will have the same score. The team that collects the most points after the last round on October 1 will become the champion of the Business Sailing League and will receive a magnificent trophy. The end of the League will traditionally take place during the event crowning the sailing season, i.e. Sopot Wave. At the start, apart from the aforementioned Olivia Business Centre and D.A.D / Security Systems, we will see companies such as Atena or Argocard.

The Business Sailing League gives you the opportunity to participate in high-class, professional regatta races between representatives of various businesses, conducted under the supervision of the top Polish sports sailors. The crews, in addition to the practical opportunity to improve their skills, compete in a spectacular formula of races at the Sopot pier, which is the most convenient place to cheer on such struggles in Poland. Each participant can learn the tactics of fighting the enemy, trimming sails and yacht steering techniques. The project is aimed at business – as a tool for activating own employees and building an atmosphere of teamwork, or as a method of building relationships with customers in an original format. Cyclical regattas are conducted on identical, high-performance sports yachts Delphia 24 OneDesign. Races are held at two-week intervals. Teams consist of 4-6 people – as company crews. Time spent on the water in the setting of real sports races guarantees a lot of healthy emotions.

The co-organizer of the project is the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone. The Main Partners of the project are: Olivia Business Centre, Klif Gdynia Shopping Centre, Blue Media, D.A.D. Partners are: Garmin, Promarina, Sopot Sea Bath, White Marlin Restaurant, Sofitel Grand Sopot, Henkel, Prosseco Mionetto and Żagle Magazine and W Ślizgu Magazine!
