#fireball – Afloat.ie has had an email from "a concerned reader" who fears that the supposedly very-economically-minded International Fireball Class have lost the run of themselves entirely this past week at their Worlds across in Abersoch. Our anonymous viewer was astonished to see the Fireballers kitted out in the full fig for a black-tie end-of-championship dinner in the South Caernarvon YC on Friday night, as dutifully reported on Afloat.ie at 0740 Saturday morning, complete with incriminating photo. Then on opening Saturday's Daily Telegraph, our viewer was even further concerned by this item in the letters page. We publish it in sorrow, but in the hope that a spokesman for the International Fireball Class can put this all in perspective, for it's far from black-tie dinners and emptied ATMs the Fireball Class was reared.......
