Insead’s 6th place at the Cranfield Regatta was enough for them to hold onto the number 1 position in the MBA sailing rankings. They are three points ahead of London Business School, whose 3rd place on the Solent brings them above Bocconi into second. Warwick and Leeds round out the top five, climbing as MIP Milano and Manchester drop out.
The MBA Sailing Rankings are based on the past rolling 12 months of MBA sailing, so are currently made up of the 2011 Rolex MBA’s cup, the 2012 Global MBA Trophy, 2012 ABC and 2012 Cranfield regatta.
Highest climbers are Hong Kong, whose Cranfield’s 5th place takes them ufrom no- where to 7th spot. RSM did not compete and drop down to 22nd. Glasgow, Imperial and Smurfitt drop out of the rankings altogether, as they’ve not raced since Cranfield 2011.
