Christian Hamilton Wins the Bermuda Gold Cup

Huge congratulations to COSS member and Oxford alumnus Christian Hamilton, who has won the prestigious Bermuda Gold Cup on his event debut.

Sailing in Hamilton Harbour, Hamilton and his crew stunned world No. 1 Chris Poole 3–2 in a thrilling best-of-five final to lift the historic King Edward VII Trophy - the oldest match racing trophy in the world.

After falling 2–1 behind, Hamilton battled back to force a decider that came down to the final ten metres. Recalling his team-racing instincts, Hamilton deftly avoided Poole's final mark trap to seal a sensational victory.
