For their 2025 Nationals the Fireballs are returning to the popular Cornish resort of Looe. The Fireballs have been to Looe twice before: in 1998 and 2013, and both times have produced epic big wave sailing which is perfect for the Fireball.

Looe itself is a typical Cornish fishing town with a stunning beach and lots to do off the water so it's a perfect venue for sailor and non-sailor alike and a great location to combine sailing with a family holiday.

Sailing is taking place over four days from Saturday 24th to Tuesday 27th May. Further information will be released shortly when the Notice of Race is published.

Further details on the Fireball in the UK can be found at www.fireball-dinghy.org.uk and for international members at www.fireball-international.com
