but . . . I would contact BWSF and get it from the horses mouth. The article Nigel gave you the link for is pretty comprehensive.

Dont know when the classes were formulated but when the old man used to go skiracing they were classes.

D class was twin rigs

C class was single large out board 150hp may have been only 140 I think because 1.3l ( I think) may have been the limit

B class was 85hp

A class were 50hp

the classes were based on cc not hp but i cant remember what they were. 85hp were 750 or 850cc i think

sorry I cant be more precise
