From Olli's Blog for Saturday:

"Here are some big news of the day (if that’s what you want to call it); there is a protest underway by 808 against 836 and 804 for team sailing during the first race. I believe the accusation is that when 836 was in second place last time at the windward mark they slowed down which allowed 804 to catch up or something like that. I don’t really want to get into details as Pat was called as a witness and I don’t know if the hearing has concluded.
But personally I really don’t think anything like that would be going on from those teams. I know both teams personally and know that they would never even consider anything like that. There are lot of big kelp beds on the race course that we struggle to get through at times that really slow us down. This can make racing here very frustrating, in the light stuff especially. "
