Re:CastlePoint Holdings, Ltd. (the “Company”)
Registration Statement on Form S-1
Registration No.  333-134628________

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, CastlePoint Holdings, Ltd. (the “Company”) hereby requests that the effective date of the above-captioned Registration Statement be accelerated so that it will become effective on August 6, 2007 at 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time, or as soon thereafter as may be practicable.

In connection with our submission of this request, we acknowledge that:

·should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

·the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

·the Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Very truly yours,
CASTLEPOINT HOLDINGS, LTD.
