1980 Fireball 16 #12941
Very fast boat! It has crisp main, jib, and spinnaker. Boat has been in four Worlds that I have seen. It is in very good shape. Originally designed by Peter Milne in 1962, the Fireball is a one-design high-performance sailing dinghy. The Fireball is sailed by a crew of two, and sports a single trapeze, symmetric spinnaker and chined hull. The class is strictly controlled, but has adapted to advances in building techniques. The hulls (plywood, FRP or composite) have a strict weight limit of 175 lb (79 kg) (with correctors).
The Fireball is a highly competitive dinghy, with large fleets worldwide and state, national, continental and world championships held annually. Competitors of all ages help make this class enjoyable for everyone. The performance of the boat is very dependent on tuning as the Fireball's rig can be adjusted in numerous ways.
The most recent Fireball World Championships were held at the Royal Varuna Yacht Club in Pattaya, Thailand from 8–21 March 2008.
