bluewater cruising Webinar #2 – Building and Managing Your Team: Setting Course for Collective Success

Sailing far, for a long time, and in all kinds of conditions… it’s as much a human adventure as it is a maritime one. For this second installment of the “bluewater cruising ” series launched by Grand Large Yachting, we invite you to explore a central theme: crew selection and management. Whether you’re sailing as a couple, with your family, or with crew members on board, how do you build a close-knit crew, assign roles, and ensure a positive dynamic on board—even in the middle of the Atlantic or in a remote fjord?
