Conner, Team Threatened

Dennis Conner’s America’s Cup team has received two threatening phone calls, prompting police to investigate.

One threat reported by the team was directed at Conner, skipper of the yacht Stars & Stripes, said syndicate spokeswoman Barbara Schwartz.

“They were not death threats, they were threatening phone calls,” Schwartz said. “I don’t know if they are related in any way.”

After a 2-hour wait, Tuesday’s Cup race between Stars and Stripes and Mighty Mary was postponed until today because of light winds.
