HAMILTON, Bermuda – The semifinals of the $100,000 Argo Group Gold Cup features a past champion, a two-time runner-up, a 12-time entrant and a young gun aiming to upset the balance.
Crews led by skippers Taylor Canfield, Adam Minoprio, Björn Hansen and Keith Swinton advanced to the next round of the regatta after surviving a light and patchy day on Hamilton Harbour where the wind rarely topped 5 knots.
Tomorrow morning’s semifinal round will pit Canfield’s US One against Minoprio’s BlackMatch Racing and Hansen’s Nautiska Racing versus Swinton’s Black Swan Racing. The winners move on to the final tomorrow afternoon.
As the No. 1 seed in the regatta Canfield chose to race Minoprio, which forced the other match up.
