Experience sailing - Useful information

Problems and stressful situations are sometimes hard to avoid while on board a boat. Therefore team work while sailing is very important and more difficult than by many other forms of sport. Psychology and philosophy (hermeneutics, dialectics and often phenomenology) each play a large role when sailing. They are the key to successful co-operation between the skipper and the crew.

A responsible team

The responsibility of any job that comes up while on board, must be coordinated and completed by members of the crew. Here all members of a crew are responsible. The rules on board are similar to those in the military – team work and further development must be supported. Conflict situations should be dealt with through self analytical mental training. It operates very much like a country – cooperating well together will equal rewards.
