Yep 2 at the moment not far away. Ones in Kent, the other in Hampshire way.
Ones wood, the others fibreglass, take a look, not bad for what they are at the moment!

Cheers TT.

Smight, the plan is to get one cheap privately do a bit of TLC when sailing it then sell for the same if not more ( ) later in the year probably on ebay.

Thanks

Mark.

Hi,

My brother and I are thinking about getting a dead cheap fireball to do some of the summer events like Aldeburgh week etc.

All up we weigh around 125-130kg (depending on breakfast ), regularly compete in 600's and up for anything. We thought a fireball would be good because it has a centerboard and lifting rudder etc so good for river sailing (we hit the mud many times in our Dads 400 at DYC )

Does anyone know of any cheap (sub £500) Fireballs for sale at their clubs and agree with the choice of boat? If not, what would you recomend?

Thanks

Splosh and GBR884.
