SDA Bocconi’s sailing team won their third MBA regatta out of the four in 2024 in Cascais last weekend (27/28 September). In a complex series of races, they qualified for the 5 boat final by coming second in their heats on day 1, and then coming top in their heats on day 2.
The final came down to the wire. It consisted of 5 teams: IE Guillermo, IE Emanuele, IE Artem, SDA Bocconi and LBS. The winner was to be the first to two race wins. IE Guillermo were leading going into the final, and so were awarded one race win already, so only needing one more win.
The first race of the final was won by SDA Bocconi, as they got past LBS and IE Guillermo who were battling for a spot and broaching out. The second race of the final was won by LBS. So going into the third race, any one of these three boats could win the regatta. The SDA Bocconi team then brought it home.
In division “B”, the IE team on “Wahoo” scored four super- consistent second places to secure first overall. In second were the LBS crew on “Madraco”, and the IE team on “Carpe Mare” came third.
