Rail Service Holding held an annual business regatta in Turkey
In 2023, after a three-year break, the Rail Service Group revived the tradition of holding the annual business regatta SSW (Spring Sailing Week) among companies of the railway industry and related areas.
This year the competitions were held from 27 to 3 June in Turkey. The sailing race was attended by 12 corporate teams, including companies of the Rail Service Group, as well as railway rolling stock operators, wagon repair enterprises, representatives of the banking sector, manufacturers of solid-rolled railway wheels, representatives of the port business and a trading company.
For the first time, the regatta was held in 2018 in Croatia with 7 teams, now their number has almost doubled. Among the crews there were both experienced participants and complete newcomers. The races were held in two divisions - Bavaria 46 and Hanse 445, each of which had a winner.
SSW perfectly combines sports and business. Guests get a lot of unforgettable impressions, sports drive, and informal business acquaintances develop into effective business partnerships. The participants of the regatta note that such events contribute to effective networking in the best possible way. In addition, in yachting, as in a successful business, interaction within the team is essential. Only efficient communication, coherence of actions and understanding of responsibility by each participant lead to the result. In other words, events of this kind are not just the promotion of amateur sailing, but rather a tool for business development, exchange of professional experience, strengthening business ties and, of course, an effective team building method.
It is worth mentioning that each team practically proved their readiness to fight to the end under any conditions. Despite torn sails, winches that went out of order and even a cable wound around a screw, the participants did not lose their feeling of fellowship and team fighting spirit, confidently overcoming all obstacles.
According to the results of four racing days in the Bavaria 46 division, the combined team of Sergey Gushchin took the first place in a tense struggle. In all fairness, it has to be added that this is the first victory in three years for the team of the entrepreneur and the ideological inspirer of the business regatta. The second place went to the Wagon-Wheeled Workshop from Stary Oskol, the bronze medals were taken by the team of the trading company OWLL from Dubai.
In the Hanse 445 division, the team of Garant Rail Service won a landslide victory, the Partners company combined team, which consisted of representatives of the banking sector, won the silver medal, and the team of Rail Service employees won the bronze medal.
Sergey Gushchin commented on this event in the following way: “The sail is the force that moves us forward, this is our team that helps us develop an unusually high speed. If we skillfully manage this sail, if we are together with the team, side by side and at the same time, then we win in any race, in any battle and in any conditions.
Yachting undoubtedly allows all participants to reveal their talents and the best human qualities that are required not only at sea, but also in business - courage, endurance, unity. At this time, you understand the true value of the team and its well-coordinated work”.
Rail Service plans to continue and develop the tradition of holding a regatta, to attract new partners and members of the railway business community.
