Editor's note: UNOFFICIAL REPORTS from a couple of coaches who insist on anonymity are that the boat did not make it, that the Danes have drawn the second Spanish boat. Danish sailors were observed working on the boat. THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED, IS NOT OFFICIAL. We'll update this as we receive official notification.
