Quotes from previous participants:

“…Sailing, very uniquely, show me a perspective about leadership that many other training programs failed to put focus on—to lead the team, it is not just about “leading”; the word leader means much more than that.”

“團隊是領袖存在的基礎，而帆船訓練很適合培訓優秀團隊精神並且從中訓練領袖，每天我們都有隊長和船長的角色，負責統領此帆船的一切事務，培養了獨立果斷的思考與決策能力。”

“It was my first time being involved in a sailing adventure. The experience was great and remarkable. I really enjoyed controlling the yacht and sharing dinner with my buddies. It was a challenging task to strike balance on the yacht in mid-night but also memorable. I loved small talks under the starry sky and the sharing was inspiring also. This experience is more of a kind of “healing” than adventure to me actually: a nap in warm breeze, a good swim under sunshine. The most rewarding of the trip is not how we challenge ourselves, but how to seek out the beautiful bites of life to enjoy.”

“這三天印像最深的事情自然是能夠兩次成為舵手，親自掌控帆船了。舵手要將風向、前方景物、瞭望員與助手的信息結合。隨著風的方向調整船的航向。既不能讓船陷入不能前進的“No go zone”，也要小心前方的暗礁，向著目的地航行。”
