Crews race matched yachts around a short course with a pro skipper aboard each boat, then raft up for a dockside trophy party.
Why It Bonds
A boat only wins if the crew works as one — there's no better hour-long lesson in trust and shared effort, and the rivalry carries straight into dinner.
Running at Scale
Matched fleets of 8–12 boats race in flights; spectators follow on a hospitality vessel.
