Given smithREgroup founder Randy Smith's lifelong involvement in sailing, there's a natural fit for the firm to be a 2023 sponsor of Transpac.

Among the portfolio of services that smithREgroup offers its clients - which includes real estate brokerage and advisement of all types of residential and commercial properties, resort rentals, and business consulting - is corporate teambuilding through an entity called Teambuild Sailing.

As us sailors know, there cannot be any success in this sport without solid skills in communication, coordination, appropriate selection of personnel and careful preparation for uncertainties that may lie ahead. Teambuild Sailing teaches these skills with onboard sailing experiences coupled with classroom instruction to analogize how these will apply to and enhance the success of any business enterprise.

"I am a firm believer that what I have learned from competitive sailing has contributed to my business success at smithREgroup," said Smith. "I have been involved in the Transpac since 1991 on many high-performance boats, such as BLONDIE, ORIENT EXPRESS, and MEDICINE MAN, and the success we have enjoyed with these and other programs I'm convinced is based on the same principles of success in a business environment." Smith will serve as a Watch Captain on John Sangmeister's Andrews 68 ROCK N' ROLL in this year's race.

He goes on to explain that this Transpac sponsorship is an opportunity to help contribute to what has been so fulfilling for him.

"99% of our business is by referral and many of our long-time client relationships came as a result of my involvement in sailing, so I am proud that my firm has become a sponsor of this great race this year."
