It's not cheap to ship toys and crews around the world to put on a show...

When your serious, maybe talk to America's Cup team principle Larry Ellison, or the guys from the Red Bull Air Races who successfully shipped a couple dozen aircraft and support staff all over the globe for multiple years. Gotta be affordable to the racers and crews who like to bring along the wife and kids for the weekend.

Until then, we'll gladly hold that cup for ya right here.. :ernaehrung004:

Wasn't QMSF paying the shipping and putting everyone up in the Sheiks hotel? Plus $100,000.00 purse per class! I really thought this would have happened.

I had the wife sold on going to qatar until she found out their was boat races but was still willing to go. Now I will have to go to paris or someplace romantic. This ruined next years vacation plans for me.

My buddy Bruce Seroff, a well-known offshore racer, sent me an email question, and because his PM box is full I can't respond to him. But I suspect his question is a common one—the correct spelling of "Canceled."

Here you go, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/canceled?s=t.

Primary is "canceled," secondary is "cancelled." Both are acceptable.

Carry on, gentlemen

You just use the left coast version.

Yeah, well, the other version—"cancelled"—also is used off the left coast. Of England.:)
