24th - 31st July. Popular sailing week in North Wales. 18 Fireballs already entered. Event Details
31st july - 1st Aug. Back as an open venue after a break of a few years and very keen to build up their Fireball Fleet again. Event Details
The new class website www.fireballsailing.org.uk has now been running for 18 months and many of you have taken time to register. In fact we have over 600 registered users and over 300 Fireballs registered, but with over 15000 boats made and many of them in the UK thats a bit of a shortfall!
Whilst not all of those boats are still in existence, we should be able to get up to 1000 or so on the register by the end of 2010. The challenge is set. Fleet captains can play an important role here. Get a list of Fireballs at your club and contact them with this information.
Post flyers to them all or copy this article for your club newsletter. It’s really important that people register their own boats otherwise it creates complications when they are sold and we can't contact the owners.
