The Ocean Effect
Welcome to our page where we would like to introduce you to the Ocean Effect at Säil.
Teamwork...
Sailing requires a high level of teamwork as it requires a coordinated effort to steer and navigate the boat. Each crew member has an important role to play, whether it is setting and hoisting the sails, steering the boat or monitoring the weather conditions. Effective communication and co-operation are crucial to sailing the boat safely and efficiently. If everyone in the team understands and carries out their task, the boat can glide quickly and skilfully through the water.
... and team building
Team building is an important aspect of sailing. An effective team building strategy can help crew members work better together and understand their roles and responsibilities. Some team-building activities that can be carried out while sailing include setting and hoisting the sails together, steering the boat together or monitoring weather conditions together. Through these activities, crew members can learn how to communicate effectively and work together to sail the boat safely and efficiently.
The 3 pillars of team building
The three most important pillars of team building are communication, cooperation and trust.
1. communication
Communication is crucial for exchanging information, clarifying goals and avoiding misunderstandings. Open and effective communication promotes understanding among team members and strengthens collaboration.
2. co-operation
The second pillar is cooperation. A successful team works together to achieve common goals. Each team member contributes their individual skills and strengths and thus complements the skills of the others. Good cooperation enables obstacles to be overcome and tasks to be completed more efficiently.
3. trust
The third pillar is trust. Trust is the basis for a strong and functioning team dynamic. Team members must be able to rely on their colleagues to fulfil their tasks and take on their responsibilities. Trust creates a positive working atmosphere and promotes the motivation and commitment of each individual.

1. common goal
Set a common goal that you want to achieve, such as sailing a certain distance or winning a regatta. This creates a feeling of togetherness and motivation.
2. communication
Good communication is essential when sailing. Talk to each other about your plans, decisions and problems. Listen to each other and respect each other's opinions.
3. responsibility
Everyone in the crew has an important role and responsibility. Ensure that everyone knows and fulfils their tasks. This creates trust and reliability.
4. teamwork
Sailing requires teamwork. Work together to steer the boat, set the sails and trim them. Support each other and work as a unit.
5. fun
Sailing should also be fun! Take time to laugh and relax together. For example, organise a BBQ together on the beach or an evening event on board.
6th training
Take part in training courses to improve your skills and grow as a team. This can also be a good opportunity to meet new people and socialise.
7. recognition
Shows recognition and appreciation for the achievements of others. Praises and rewards good work and successes. This motivates and strengthens the crew's self-confidence.
Get to know yourself better
Sailing can be a great way to get to know yourself better.
1. mastering challenges
Diving requires courage and confidence in one's own abilities and in the equipment. By facing this challenge together, the team overcomes its fears and strengthens its confidence in its own abilities. Overcoming obstacles together creates a strong bond between the team members.
2. stress management
Sailing can also be a way to relieve stress and learn how to deal with difficult situations. For example, if you are in an unexpected situation on the water, you need to think and act quickly. This can help you to deal with stress better in everyday life too.
3. self-reflection
When you are alone on the water, you have time to think about your life and your goals. You can ask yourself what is important to you and what you want to achieve in the future. This can help you to understand yourself better and clarify your priorities.
Discover your Skills and Strengths
4. teamwork
When sailing, you often work together in a team. By working with others, you can learn how to behave in a group and how best to communicate with others. This can help you to work better with others in other areas of your life too.
5. closeness to nature
When sailing, you are often out in nature and can enjoy the beauty of the water and the landscape. This can help you to feel connected to nature and focus on the essentials.
Conflict resolution through common goals
After all, the aim of sailing is to bring the boat safely and successfully to its destination. In crisis situations and conflicts, the aim is to find a solution that is acceptable to everyone involved and resolves the situation. As with sailing, this requires a clear vision and a common goal that everyone involved is working towards.
Overall, sailing can serve as a metaphor for crisis management and conflict resolution, as it requires skills such as flexibility, teamwork, communication, risk assessment, decision-making and goal-orientation. These skills are also crucial in crisis situations and conflicts in order to find a successful solution.
