The UK Fireball Association and Fireball International are delighted to announce Gul Watersports as title sponsor for the GUL Fireball World Championships hosted by Clwb Hwylio Pwllheli Sailing Club during August 2015.

Gul are at the forefront of clothing technology, and we are proud to have them on board as title sponsors. Though there are many championship winning sailors entered, much of the fleet is comprised of regular club and open meeting racers, taking advantage of the opportunity to sail and socialise with sailors from across the world. Gul will be supporting Fireball sailors at all levels.

The GUL Fireball worlds comprises 5 days of racing set to the amazing backdrop of Snowdon. With racing taking place in the bay it is expected to be a fantastic week. This is preceded by the UK Nationals, and open week, which offers 8 races over 4 days as a warm up to the Worlds week.

Early entry closes at the end of June, and our full programme has just been published for those of you with any doubts about the events on offer.

The highlight of the week is our widely anticipated black tie dinner, featuring Bob Fisher as guest speaker. Bob was the first ever Fireball World Champion.
