Argo Gold Cup
In the Argo Group Gold Cup semifinal match racing, ETNZ/BlackMatch Racing skipper Adam Minoprio (NZL) and his team of Tom Powrie, David Swete and Nick Blackman took the first slot in the Finals with a 3-0 win over Eric Monnin (SUI) Swiss Match Race Team with crewmen Simon Brugger, Mark Monnin, Jean-Claude Monnin and Loris von Siebenthal. Minoprio is the top skipper in the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) rankings and was second in the World Match Racing Tour going into the Argo Group Gold Cup.
Ben Ainslie (GBR) sailing for Team Origin with his crew of Matt Cornwell, Iain Percy, and Christian Kamp took the other semifinal match 3-1. Ainslie moves into the finals after defeating reigning World Tour Champion Ian Williams (GBR) of Team Pindar sponsored by Argo Group with his crew of Mark Nicholls, Richard Sydenham, and Gerry Mitchell and goes into the Petite Finals Sunday. Ainslie, holder of four Olympic medals, three of them gold, had a perfect 7-0 score going into the quarter finals but lost two matches in that stage and one more in today’s semifinal.
Tomorrow, Minoprio and Ainslie will race for gold, each doing his utmost to put his own name on the famous King Edward VII Gold Cup trophy and take home the first place prize purse of $50,000. Second place takes $20,000, third place $10,000 and fourth place $7,000. The total purse is $100,000.
Williams and Monnin will match up in the Petit Finals to decide third and fourth places.
In the consolation matches to decide the 5th through 8th places, Bermudian Blythe Walker and his Max Re team lost their first match to Mathieu Richard (FRA) representing the French Match Racing Team. Last year’s King Edward VII Gold Cup winner Johnie Berntsson (SWE) Berntsson Sailing Team won their first match against Torvar Mirsky.
The second matches of the consolations saw Berntsson defeat Richard for fifth place, relegating Richard to sixth. Blythe Walker had a win against Mirsky for seventh place, to push Mirsky into eighth.
Fifth place takes home $ 5,500. Sixth place gets $ 4,000. Seventh place earns $2,500 Eighth place $ 1,000.
