Oops...
(apparently the communication took place over VHF)
Bell and his crew management must face an international tribunal at the Tasmanian Yacht Club in Hobart today at 10am.
Bell defended his boat against the charge, declaring they did ''everything by the book''.
According to the protest sheet, the charge stems from an audio recording taken of a ''conversation between [the] ABC helicopter [crew]'' and a crewman on Investec Loyal … ''seeking information from the helicopter of the sail plan in use on Wild Oats XI. In particular, information as to whether Wild Oats XI was flying a trysail.''
