The ACWS Toulon provided yet another opportunity to watch the world’s fastest boats drift around for two hours this past weekend.  In fact the Med was so bad that the only foiling came courtesy of Groupama’s tender and a long tow rope.  When this is the only thing worthy of a highlight reel for your title sponsors, you know it’s pretty awful.

The black cloud of shitty breeze and shrinking audiences continues to follow the ACWS around everywhere it goes, and with the Auckland vs. ACEA arbitration decision argued back in July and a decision expected soon, it may be about to get a whole lot darker.  Here’s a CNN report on the actual racing.
