Does anyone have a crystal ball and wants to throw out some predictions on any movement on PY this year?

I would personally (just my opinion!) like to see the Phantom to move back to normality from 995 and get in the 1000/1005 region

RS300 will drop to into the late 970s or bang on 980.   The Laser 1 will get slower.

Me too. Phantom up by 5, Solo down by 10, Laser up yet again by silly amounts, Zero and Aero drop as people learn to sail them (or maybe up as muppets buy them!) Supersofa drops by 5 or 10 as new hulls do well.

Doublehanders mostly drop as few new boats are selling and cheap old boats are snapped up by beginners to racing.

A reasonable forward indicator is the Great Lakes numbers imo.  PN numbers now seem to be 'following' and every year more and more major events going for GL ....  not surprising as the GL approach was very possibly the result of ... eerm 'PN's limitations'  (a very seperate discussion of course !)

I expect the same flawed data-munging will produce similar changes to the RS400 PY as it's done for the past few years. I expect another drop of 2 to 4 points.

Other classes?
Solo likely to drop a bit as a lot of good people sailing them.

An interesting exercise would be to compare the weather for 2012 (which drops off the calculations) with 2015 which comes onto them.

Our 2015 went a bit limp due to missing a load of autumn series races when it was very windy. So our returns will be slanted towards the light winds that we actually sailed!

I'm hoping ours and Redoubts results don't undo the Solution trend to parallel the Laser which is already becoming an absurd Bandit on the sea. I'd also like to see the Phantom back around 1005 -10.

It's been a Contender windy season for us, on our system it recommends losing 100 pts, they'd love that

Whereas we raced in lots of that big breeze....thank goodness not everyone did or the PYs would be coming down for my craft!
