![]() These inboard class designations I surmise were carried over from the outboard tradition of the time. The usual regatta procedure schedules two 5-mile heats of racing for each different class of boats so that boats race only with others of their own class. There were also F Service Runabouts (Curt Brayer's Dancing Bear) and I believe A, B, C, and D, Service runabouts too. The E boat class came from the very early days when they were known as E Service Runabouts (picture Wes Knudsen's famous Stardust). ![]() Where the K in KRR comes from, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure the P designation for the Crackerbox class comes from its origins as the "Pacific One Design" class. Lets not forget about each days marathon event, where drivers of all runabout. The original Can Am engine rules were unlimited displacement, naturally aspirated. The classes have different top speeds, motor, boat, and weight requirements. ![]() Of course, SS is Super Stock, PS is Pro Stock, PC was Pro Comp, and Can Am refers to the international nature of the boats competing in the CBF as well as the similarity of the engines to those of the SCCA road racing series of the late '60s and early '70s. e K PRO Hydro class is a class for kids only. e 1100cc Runabout must carry two people, a driver and a deck rider. Same thing with the JS designation on the Jersey Speed Skiffs. e 125cc classes must use one-cylinder motors. I remember Dumas marketing their low freeboard flat bottom style RC model boats with the model name "SK-Daddle". I liked the fact that the class designation SK which stood for "Ski Racing Runabout" referred to the flat bottom design's origins as an actual ski boat.
