The 50th Anniversary Fireball National Championships, 11th - 17th August 2012
The Big Sailing event in 2012 that you can sail in!
For our 50th National Championships we are delighted to be visiting the popular town of Penzance and the excellent sailing waters of Mount's Bay, one of the UK's premier sailing venues. The event is expected to see a large turnout from Fireballers of all ages, with some old names from the past returning, along with new faces all battling to be top dog.
We will be working closely with Penzance Sailing Club to make sure you the competitors have a fantastic week. Entry fees will start from just £99 for those sailing Classic Fireballs or for teams where both sailors are both 26. Now that’s a great deal! Your committee are hard at work putting together what we believe will be a amazing championship, both on and off the water with just the right blend of sailing and socials, a veritable festival of fireballing!
On the water everyone races as one fleet. Off the water results are divided into Gold, Silver and Bronze Fleets so that everyone has something to race for. In addition there are category prizes for Classic Fireballs, Youth sailors, Lady Helm & Lady Crew Novice Helm and Crew and much more. Plus there are individual race trophies for the ten races. We will also be buddying up people for the week to share knowledge and experiences. So if you have never been to a National Championships before now is your chance. Mark those dates in your diary today!
More details about the week will be added to the class website over the coming months. Please keep checking for updates. If you have any questions or thoughts about the event please contact our Nationals Co-ordinator Jeremy Hurst
See you next August!
