Unfortunately race event cancellations are becoming more frequent. If you check out recent ski race results here in the States, you'll notice a continuing drop in participation (boats and skiers) levels. If there's not enough entries to cover race costs (which are always rising) the clubs and associations don't have a choice but to cancel the event. No one seemingly has an answer or solution to reverse the trend. Hope the Catalina Ski Race on July 19 has a good turn-out.
