From around the world to the winner's podium! ⛵🏆
The WINNER of the Robin Knox-Johnston Cup 2026 is...
TEAM CV25!
Well done to Skipper OB Gavin Rees and his team of OBs on a superb victory this weekend.
The win follows an extraordinary year for Gavin, who recently skippered an impressive second-place finish in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. To go from racing across the world's oceans to lifting the Robin Knox-Johnston Cup alongside a crew of fellow OBs is a remarkable achievement.
Congratulations to you all!

What happens when young people are encouraged to make the most of every opportunity?

Old Berkhamstedian Dan left Berkhamsted Sixth in 2024 with a Vice Chancellor’s Art Scholarship to Durham University. Two years on, he reflects on how the opportunities he embraced at Berkhamsted helped build the confidence and skills he is using today.

From playing 1st XI sport and performing in school productions to serving as Deputy Head Boy and joining the wellbeing committee, Dan made the most of life beyond the classroom.

Now, after completing an eight-week internship with consulting firm Baringa and securing a return offer for after university, he reflects on where that confidence began.

“Now I realise I can go for stuff that seems slightly out of what I think I’m able to do, but the school builds that confidence in you.”

Head to our YouTube channel for Dan’s full interview and discover more about the opportunities available at Berkhamsted Boys and Berkhamsted Sixth. 🎥
