Crisis-hit BP chief goes sailing into 'PR disaster'

Under-fire BP chief executive Tony Hayward went sailing in the UK today despite mounting criticism that he is not doing enough to control the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

As company officials insisted Mr Hayward was still in charge of the operation to control spill amid confusion over his role, he was relaxing on the Isle of Wight at the JP Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race.
