They're technically measured by displacement but are more or less as follows:

A: 70hp modified / 90hp stock --> Ocke B19s and Phantom 16s
B: 1.8L (140hp) can be modified --> Phantom 18
FB: 150hp stock ('clean motors') --> Ocke B23, Phantom 19
C: 280hp can be modified (on catamarans) --> Skater 21
D-Stock: 200hp stock (mono) --> Phantom 20s and Ring 20
D: 280hp can be modified (mono) --> Ocke B22 and B23, Progression 22
E: 300hp can be modified --> Intimidator 21 and Skater 21
S: Twin 2.5L (280s) can be modified --> Skater 28, AMT 30, Predator 30/32?
P: Twin 300hp --> Spectre 30

C 10 Oranjeboom the slipstream bat from Lorne campbells design board won on the Saturday Rhino-just thought I'd share that with you all.
So at 51 I seem to have shown Schumacher how to perform a comeback !

Which "Sports Boat" was that?

[Big Dutch]

To be fair fastest times of the day were all Bat boats though ,oh and a phenomenal Aquavitae 23 rigged up to the nines with 250 Rude Boy-great show boyz

Thank's Rhino i was thinking it can't be that hard. I am a APBA 1987/88 National Champion myself so i know how rough the waters get an they still race out there. Damon and Stevie are dieheart racer's down here and would race in rough water's but they are so quick to cancell races.

Damon would have been had a race boat of his own but they say after 15knots in Bermuda they are suppose to cancell the race. That is the main reason why i sent my boat to the USA to race.

Just the guernsey batboat drivers?

I remember LAPPING all of the batboats with my Phantom 19 and 130 on more than one occasion last year and Folkestone was one of them! :-)
