MOD70 had to cut leg4 short again ?

MOD70 European tour Leg4 was shortened again for the 3rd successive time in 4 legs. What is wrong with these Boats? What is wrong with the Race Organisation?

Musandam wins in Marseille, but Foncia has the most spectecular photo.
Or do these Boats and Crews love the shore live better as the sailing?

For sure it devaluates the MOD70 Race Series as every race is shortened as if these crew and boats are not capable of sailing a decent route. 

Well for what it is worth, here is the result for Leg 4 from Cascais to Marseille.
