Topic: Youth Fireball Boat Posted: 03 Nov 08 at 5:30pm |
Firstly, this post is on behalf of the UK Fireball Association. There is a plan to make a Fireball (maybe several depending on response) available to a youth team to campaign on the circuit for 2009, including the nationals (Weymouth), and the worlds (La Rochelle). At the moment we are only in the initial stages of working out all the details and criteria, and are trying to guage response. Would this be of interest to you? Please reply with any comments....... Many thanks. |

I would be interested but I would have a problem finding a crew/helm, do you want whole teams or individuals? |

You mean a bit like the Bullet, it was a baby fireball. Last time I saw one
was in the late eighties. I can't seem to find any pictures but it definitely
existed http://www.noblemarine.co.uk/boats/dinghy/Bullet/ edited for spelling Edited by Inland sea |

I think he means they are gonna give a firball to a youth team to encourage them into the class, like the 14's have done for the last 2 years. I'd def be up for that, is there an email or something we need to send to confirm. What is the upper age for a youth? Edited by Stevie_GTI |

No i think he means in a similar sense to what the I14 class did earlier this year? Sounds like a good plan. I would be interested but i'm already well into the 600. Hope all goes well.

Sounds great. Would love to do that, probably the wrong size for it though. |

I am 46 but with a mental age of 17 - does that count? I used to love crewing the fireball!

Id also be up for that depending on what my crew thinks and how it fits around other events. Seems a good idea!
