Following a highly successful 135 boat Worlds in Garda in August and with the 2026 Worlds to be held in Torquay the Fireball is enjoying a huge surge in popularity, but the demand for boats is outstripping the supply.
If you own a Fireball and have had thoughts about selling it, now is the time to put it on the market. As well as using the usual second-hand boat websites, the Class has its own buy and sell Facebook Group "The Fireball Dinghy Centre".
The Class is also compiling a list of second-hand boats. If you have a boat to sell, or you are looking to buy, email Dave Hall on
If you are in the market and have got your eye on a boat, get in quick. They are getting snapped up fast.
