Fireballs Nationals

Reflected in the second hand market too - it seems you cant give even the good entry level boats away these days.

	Support for the 'Ball has collapsed down here over the last decade. It's a pity - a while back it seemed to be a great example of a traditional class that changed its rules to good effect.

	Worlds in Carnac in September would be my guess.

	Yes - a very poor turn out for a great venue ?

	Surprised to see only 26 boats Penzance is pretty cool venue. Fleet normally gets 50+ boats. Open circuit seems strong. What's going on? Clash with Solos and Lasers? But I'd imagine the main fleets they'd share sailors with are Merlins, GP14s and 505s? I would have thought that the GP14 Worlds being the following week at Mounts Bay would have upped the Fireball numbers with sailors wanting to get venue and big fleet experience? But maybe don't have the leave? Any insider knowledge?
