I respectfully disagree.The smaller, lower freeboard boats are at a disadvantage even in the flat water races.And in the ocean races they dont have a chance!This has been proven many times over in Sportsman A,Factory 1; and now in Class 5.All of the smaller boats that intially started in Class 5 are now in Class 6.The bottom line is that it is not all about speed; boat size matters! There is a need for a seperate class for the smaller boats.I bet if you would ask,most of the current Class 6 teams would agree.

What about leaving the classes essentially the same,require canopies in Class 1, bring back Class 2 , and add a 38FT length limit for Class 4.I think the step down effect is hurting Class 3 and Class 4.Merge some spec classes into bracket classes unless there are five boats.

If you did this we would have classes with lots of compatition in them. Split the purse evenly amongst the boats that take the start and bigger trophys for the top 3 teams. The classes that you are merging normally dont have 5 boats in there class. I like more boats per class. We all cant win all the time. I'm in!!!!
