Moscow’s Skolkovo School of Management, in only their second year participating in the Sunsail MBA Global Sailing League have emerged as champions.
Despite being unable to compete at the Rolex MBA’s Regatta in Santa Margharita Ligure, and so scoring a maximum 19 points for that regatta, their consistent first and second places in the other regattas of the season has meant that they out- score London Business School, whose joint seventh place in the Bocconi – organised regatta gives them 25 points to Skolkovo’s 24.
Skolkovo have taken the league by storm in 2015. where they were able to compete, they won in Athens, Le Havre and Medemblik, and were second to a local pro skipper in the Solent.
Third place in the 2015 league goes to Insead with 36 points. The top 5 is rounded out with Rotterdam and HEC on 36 and 46 points respectively.
The Rolex MBA’s Regatta brought 4th place IE racing up the league 5 places to 6th, winners MIT Sloan up 7 places to 7th and 2nd place Bocconi up 6 to 9th.
