Our Team

Randy is the founder of smithREgroup LLC and Teambuild Sailing.  He has sailed, raced, cruised and coached since the age of 5.  He has worked in executive leadership roles in existing and start-up companies.  His lifelong passion for the sport of sailing and his business experience in the corporate and small business sectors have been combined to create an effective and exciting teambuilding program suitable for small and large companies and groups.  Randy holds a Business  Degree from the USC Marshall School of Business.  He is also a national level certifed race official with US Sailing.  Randy leads the chalk talks, debriefs and on-the-water activities.

Christopher Lindsay - Captain USN (ret.) served as commander of several military special operations units - including the Naval Special Warfare Center. He assessed, selected and trained elite warriors to serve in high performing units (US Navy SEALs) and commanded units in the US, Africa, and  the Far East.  He holds a B.S. from Duke University and an MBA from Anderson Graduate Management at UCLA.  Chis is available as a guest speaker and facilitator on teambuilding.

Our coaches are all life long sailors who have sailed and raced 1000's of miles and spent many days racing the Catalina 37s.  Their coaching style is a reflection of their individual experience and personalities.  They will start the day teaching you how to sail the boat and end the day watching you sail and win!

Our events are typically based out of Long Beach Yacht Club.  Your event will have access to a large variety of meeting spaces, food and beverage options and the world class service of the staff.  The boats are moored directly in front of the Club.  If you wish to have your event closer to Downtown Long Beach, we can arrange to move operations to Pine Avenue Pier and we have a relationship with Gladstone's Restaurant for any banquet needs there.
