London Business School Stay top of the league
Jun 14th
Despite INSEAD’s win at the ABC regatta, London Business School’s second place keeps them at the top of the 2013 league, albeit with only 1 point seperating them from INSEAD.
The League table for 2013 only contains results from two regattas so far: the Global MBA Trophy and the Alumni Business Cup.
Kellogg/WHU, who were part of the “MBA Fastnet” team at the ABC, drop one place to third. AUEB also part of that team drop to fourth. HEC’s third place at the regatta means they come into the league in 5th place, level with Warwick, who missed the action in Marseille.

No Change at the top of the MBA Sailing Rankings
Jul 22nd
Insead’s third place at the ABC regatta means they stay top of the MBA sailing rankings, while Bocconi’s 13th place was just enough to keep them in second place – one point ahead of LBS in 3rd. The only change in the top 5 is a return for Warwick, as they scored a 10th place in LA Trinite, having not participated in 2011. They replace MIP Milano, who were 7th in Venice last year, but could only manage 11th in France, so drop to 7th in the rankings. More >
