Greenpeace activists rammed its hull with one of their Zodiacs. Unfortunately, the hull is made of carbon fiber, not steel, so it was damaged.

Surely Angus Phillips will have something to say about this in Sunday's _Washington Post_.

I don't get it -- just what is Greenpeace's beef with yacht racing?

Good question. One of the yacht's sponsors is a nuclear power concern. Thus, the yacht gets rammed. Makes sense? No? Well, me neither.
