Vencom Sailing Team
SAILING
Sailing has been important since the start of Vencom. It communicates a number of important values which are coherent with the philosophy and business model of Vencom, of which the most obvious is good and efficient teamwork.
On a sailing boat, good teamwork within the crew is crucial to sail the boat in the fastest, safest and most efficient way. Different persons are brought together to create a dynamic team with complementary skills and personalities. With the right vision and goal, and a portion of humor and some fun, such a crew excels.
Other important aspects of sailing, which are deeply integrated in the business model of Vencom, are a certain level of patience, a feeling of inner strength and self-confidence, as well as good tactical judgement and an eye for the most favourable way towards the goal, taking all the relevant data points and parameters into consideration.
