It looks like 2011 is Insead’s year. With just one scoring event left in the competition, they are 6 points ahead of their nearest rivals, LBS, and so would need to do very badly at the Bocconi regatta to miss out on the MBA Sailing League trophy.
Insead’s consistent top four placings in all three regattas, brought them the first place. The win at Cranfield has bought them the large gap between first and second that they’ll need to defend in Italy in September.
Bocconi’s third place in the Solent sees them overtake MIP and Chicago. MIP hold onto 4th, while Cranfield’s second spot in the only regatta in which they’ve competed this year sees them fifth.
Global MBA Trophy winners, Chicago drop out of the top ten because they didn’t compete at Cranfield, while Warwick fall to 11th. Glasgow, Rotterdam, Manchester, Henly and Leeds are big climbers.
