The purpose of this thread is to create a single, simple NOR/SI template that would be easy for “casual clubs” to use to create race docs for their event that meets the minimum requirements as stated in the 2021-2024 RRS Appx J
I think US Sailings 2014 Simple SI is a good place to start.

Can u post a link to your supplement? Maybe we focus on the NoR and Supplement. Maybe combine the NOR and SI Supplement into one?
On windows Microsoft Visio is a similar tool.
For a free tool you could try that was previously called draw.io: https://app.diagrams.net/

The 'one page' appearance of the US Sailing Simple SI is an illusion. Once you fill in all the 'list', 'describe' 'insert' fields with a sensible layout its going to come out to several pages.
The one advantage of the US Sailing Simple SI is that it omits a lot of the usual waffle.
US Sailing obviously dropped their version because WS produced Appendix S.
What's wrong with Appendix S is that:
When Appendix S came out, I enthusiastically did a trial of using it, but the outcome was a SSI that was still about 3 pages long. At a pinch I can get a combined NOR/SI down to about 4 pages and I concluded that using Appendix S wasn't worth the effort.
Gordon Davies
I've asked Gordon some questions about 2 over in the Beercans thread.
Seems to me that for ad hoc races, you might have quite a long complex master SI, covering such things as initiation of race, electronic entry, rabbit start, RO of the day, results, etc, then quite a short SSI as a WhatsApp message, possibly with just a start date and time.
