C'mon Rick, there's only 5 things that have to be in an NOR and you missed 4 of them.

Who's the organizing authority? (See Rule 89 for definition and requirements.)

Under what rules will you be racing?

What other documents apply? Class rules for boats racing one-design?

What classes will be racing and what handicap system will be used? Are there any restrictions on racing?

First flag? What's that? Do you mean the warning signal? (I'm giving you this one.)

The days are long gone where you can just throw up a flyer and say "Let's have a cat race!" You need to be better organized.
