This is a vital regatta in the Sunsail MBA Global Sailing League season because of the large number of participating boats – 13 boats in 2017, and up to 36 boats in the past. If a school misses out on the regatta, they are scored one point more than the number of boats involved, which can be very hard to overcome.
The boats are the largest in the league: 42 ft Beneteau F40s, with modifications made for Sunsail, sponsors of the league, and providers of the boats and regatta organisation. Crews are 8 – strong.
The regatta hosts two parties: one on Friday night to welcome the crews to the venue and a gala night on the Saturday. Details of how to sign up will be posted here once they are announced.
The regatta is hosted by Cranfield School of Management’s current MBA class.

The Cranfield regatta marks the mid point of the Sunsail MBA Global Sailing League, and is sailed on the waters of the Solent, between the Isle of Wight and the Mainland on the South Coast of England. The waters are famous for their tricky tidal currents, and frequent traffic – whether it be other racing yachts or massive cargo ships.
The Sunsail MBA Global Sailing League’s sponsor, Sunsail, provided the boats, the race committee and a lot of the organisation. The boats are Sunsail’s matched fleet of Beneteau F40s, which provide a different challenge to the smaller boats seen in most of the series’s regattas: Crews of 8, 42 ft boats and large symetrical spinnakers with dip-pole gybing.
