The 2024 UK Fireball National Championship will be hosted by Rock Sailing & Waterski Club, which is situated on the Camel Estuary about 5 miles to the west of Wadebridge and opposite the picturesque fishing port of Padstow. This will be a 4-day event with a series of 8 races.

There’s an early bird discount, so enter here by 31st May to take advantage of it.

As well as the Commodore's Reception and Championship Dinner, which are included in your entry, RSWSC is inviting us to join them for their Friday night fish & chips supper and their Tuesday evening BBQ (bring your own food). Details are on the entry page.

This year we're offering a discount of £25 for every sailor under age 26 on the last day of the championship. The online entry currently only allows for 1 discount per boat so please contact chairman@fireballsailing.org.uk if both helm and crew are under 26 and we'll sort out a refund.

Details of local accommodation can be found on the club website here.

We welcome visitors from all Fireball NCAs! Please ensure you are a current full member of your Class Association.
