2024 Global MBA Trophy

It's bigger, It's better, and It's Louder!!! 

(+180 MBAs around the world have already signed up)
The LBS Sailing Club is proud to announce the 18th edition of its annual regatta in Athens in April 2024! 

It will be a fantastic weekend filled with racing amongst the world's best Business Schools, after-sailing events and parties, and lots of networking. We will have two divisions: Division A for the finest sailors in the business world and Division B for the elite champagne drinkers. In other words, ALL LEVELS ARE WELCOMED!

The event will take place from the 11th to the 14th of April, with the option of practice days on the 9th and 10th of April. As mentioned above, the regatta will host two types of boats for different expertise levels:


Division A:
Boat type: Platu 25
These racing boats will be sailed by those willing to get into a proper race with crews from other business schools. These boats should be taken by experienced crews who have racing experience. Only one Division A boat per business school is allowed at the moment.

Division A boats can host 5 or 6-person crews. The price is £3,500 for 5-person Division A boats and £3,450 for 6-person Division A boats. Please note that the ticket does not include flights or travel insurance. Please wait until you have a confirmed spot to book a ticket. 

Accomodation in a nearby hotel is included in Division A tickets and all Division A crews stay in a hotel, as the boats do not have cabins. 

To participate in Division A as a race crew, please reach out to Kaan Konukcu (MBA'24) at kkonukcu.mba2024@london.edu, with your sailing experience. 

Divison B:
Boat type: Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440
For those with less (or zero) sailing experience or those who just want to enjoy a few days of sailing in the beautiful Greek sea, Division B boats are the right choice! These boats can host up to 8 people on board. The price is £4,650 per boat for 8 people. Division B crews will sleep on the boat. More than one Division B boat is allowed per business school.
