The Fireball Class will be out in force at this year's RYA Volvo Dinghy Show 2011 from 5th & 6th March at Alexandra Palace, London.

Come and visit us on an extended stand D6 to see three different examples of the Fireball, by Winder Boats, Dinghysport and the new boat from Weathermark Sailboats. These three boats will be showcasing a variety of fit out and rigging options including sails from North Sails and Pinnell & Bax. Also at the show on the Selden Stand you will find Fireball 15045 "Sleep Terrorist" that Dave Wade and Ben McGrane used to win the 2010 Nationals. In addition Harken will be showcasing their latest fittings on a another new Winder Fireball.

So come along and see the boats and talk to us about:

  • The great racing at all levels from club racing to international championships
  • 2011 Circuit events including the Golden Dolphin and regional race circuits
  • Training opportunities
  • The 2011 National Championships at Pentewan Sands
  • New and 2nd hand boat availability
  • Upcoming Championships in Ireland, France and Australia and the 2012 Anniversary Championships at Penzance Sailing Club
In addition complementary copies of the class magazine 'Fireball News" will be available to take away, along with 2011 fixtures lists.
