See story about one covering boat race in Docklands?
The answer appears to be VEIL
I could see that story about might be eil but as to the rest?

A Veil would cover your face, boat race (Cockney rhyming slang, so in Docklands, part of London).

Thanks, forgot about rhyming slang! So I’m guessing the V comes from view (see) or is it something cleverer?

Thanks, SPJ. I think the V, see, is just the usual Latin stuff, V, vide.
