Meet the MBA Fastnet 2013 Team!

11 February 2013

The crew of the MBA Fastnet 2013 team have been busy preparing already for their Fastnet campaign with two successful training weekends at Team Heiner HQ in Lelystad, The Netherlands under the guidance of Roy Heiner and team.

The team, in no particular order:

Moritz Vielhauer (Columbia)
Herman de Knop (Columbia)
Ina Spiess (WHU / Kellogg)
Grania Holzwarth (WHU / Kellogg)
Sascha Hocherl (WHU / Kellogg)
Benjamin Grosman (LBS)
Christian Hausmann (LBS)
Iris Co (Schulich / RSM)
Berend Groeneveld (RSM)
Erwin van Helden (RSM)
Andrei Grigorian (RSM)

Our first training weekend saw the team in Maxfun 35’s and J109’s training in some “fresh” conditions, as well as going through some onshore theory.

The second weekend was on a Maxfun 35 in January 2013, with “fresher” (i.e. colder) conditions providing opportunities for more training.

More details on the crew as well as past and future training to follow soon!
