WBS Yacht Club tops the MBA Sailing League

The WBS Yacht Club has just competed in their first regatta of the sailing season, which took place on the sparkling blue South Aegean Sea off the coast of the island Rhodes.

The regatta was the annual Global MBA Trophy, and the crew managed a very creditable fifth position. This placing, together with solid performances in past regattas, took them for the first time to the top of the global MBA Sailing League. The award ceremony was held in the magnificent Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of St John in the ancient citadel of Rhodes.

The WBS crew in Greece ranged from the highly experienced to more novice sailors, a comfortable norm with the club's teams, as new members regularly join to experience the thrill of yacht racing.

They were:
Skipper: Chris Best (DLMBA 1996-2001)
Crew: Ronan Morrissey (FTMBA 2010) ; Barry McFarlane (Executive MBA 2007-2010); Kazmira Smarzo (FTMBA 2009); Mike Blanche (FTMBA 2009); Jasbir Sembhi (DLMBA 2009 - present).

Skipper Chris Best commented, "We now turn our attention to our next regatta in the Solent off Portsmouth, where we hope to challenge for the title and consolidate our position at the top of the sailing league!

"The WBS Yacht Club is always interested in new members so if any current MBA students or alumni from the wider WBS Alumni Association are interested in joining us, please contact me Chris Best or join us on our Facebook page."
