Last year in St Moritz it was Mathieu Richard who was crowned King of the Mountain. This year it is the turn of BlackMatch Racing - the team that finished level on points with Richard at the end of their first year on the Tour in 2008.
The achievements of BlackMatch Racing continue to be quite remarkable. In winning the 2009 St Moritz Match Race they have added the World Match Racing Tour leader position to their current ISAF #1 ranking for match racing. Truly top of the world, not just top of the mountain!

Switzerland is also BlackMatch Racing's second World Match Racing Tour event win of the year - a feat unmatched by another other team so far this year. They won the season's opening regatta in Marseille, France, in addition to the St Moritz Match Race.

Many congratulations to this young Kiwi team who show lots of promise for the future.
