I'm sure the Zephyr race committee is already looking at the class breaks for Series 5, I though I would try to be helpful and compile some simple data from the last two WNR Series comparing the participating boats and rating band differences between Spin A and Spin B. I started doing series 1 & 2 but it was quite a bit more even. Seems pretty clear to me that A class doesn't have enough boats right now, which is really skewing the participant and rating band averages, and it would be worth considering a change in the class breaks. Certainly this is due to some A boat breakages and will recover at some point. See the attached pic for detail, a few interesting points below.

- Last series Spin A averaged 2.5 boats/race vs Spin B at 11.5 boats/race.
- Last series the average rating band for Spin B was 77% higher than Spin A (36 v 93)
- The series 3 & 4 Combined average participants for Spin A was 2.875 boats/race.
- In the past 8 weeks Spin A has had more than 3 competitors only 1 time.
- In those 8 weeks there were 3 races in which Spin A only had 1 boat racing, and one with only 2. So 50% of the races the last 2 months Spin A didn't have enough finishers to fill the podium.

Curious to hear what other competitors think.
Best,
Jason
