Olympic Sailing Update

British sailing champs Ben Rhodes and Stevie Morrison are huge music fans and have a tradition of naming boats after songs or singers.

But their latest choice, Jackie Big T**s — a song from Inside In/Inside Out, the first album by The Kooks — has outraged humourless officials at this summer’s Beijing Games.

The International Olympic Committee has ordered them to scrub it off their boat and replace it with something “more appropriate” — even though it is said to be bad luck to change a vessel’s name.
