Nobody "dis-invited" the Waves.

I am a member of the IWCA and even though I wasn't planning on going I still feel dis-invited.

As far as the description of how it happened, I would classify it as FUBAR. This should have been worked out, in private before the NOR went out.

I was told, at some time, that a NOR is a contract and in the "gentleman's" world of sailing, we honor our word. If that's not good enough we should always honor our contract because we might have pre-registered a lawyer with time on their hands.

I will have to remember this the next time I buy a boat.
