Eight of nine World Match Racing Tour Card teams set for Bermuda

Hamilton, Bermuda, July 7, 2010: Team Origin’s Ben Ainslie (GBR), the 2009 Argo Group Gold Cup champion, has now confirmed his entry to defend his title in the October 5th World Match Racing Tour event in Hamilton, Bermuda. Ainlsie, the three time Olympic gold medal winner and winner of one silver, too, took the 2009 finals 3-1 over Adam Minoprio. He etched his name on the coveted King Edward VII Gold Cup Trophy along with a host of match race sailing legends. Can he make it two in a row? Come Watch the action in Hamilton Harbour October 5-10 this fall.

“Royal Bermuda Yacht Club is excited to have Ben in the Argo Group Gold Cup again,” said event chairman Brian Billings. “Ainslie is a fierce competitor who chooses his events carefully. We always like having him race in Bermuda. His being from the UK makes him almost a local in Bermuda.”

“Of course,” Billings continued, “Ben will have some tough competition from Minoprio, Mathieu Richard and the other World Match Racing Tour card holders and from the up-and-coming young racers we add with our unique 24-team format. Upsets can happen if one of the youngsters hits his or her stride in the Argo Group Gold Cup.”

Ainslie is currently tied for 7th place on the tour and 3rd in the ISAF rankings. The only Tour Card holder not entered in Bermuda’s Argo Group Gold Cup is Peter Gilmour.
