Americas Cup Series Toulon 2016: Practice Day

Images Ricardo Pinto / ACEA & James Baeckler – Not much wind today with practice races abandoned. Great scenery (watch original footage above and pics) provided by Toulon that will need to wait for the weekend to racing conditions, yesterday good breeze for the demo/media day as seen in previous post.

James report: “Today the wind did not cooperate. After some starting sequences cancelled, just enjoyed a towing mode show from the AC45. We stayed ashore, by chance we just receive a nice tent to protect ourselves from a long sunny day….
Tomorrow we expect some better sea breeze !”
