Experience Fireball Sailing–Race (a Competitive) Fireball at a Dublin Bay Regatta

#fireball – Here's a genuine offer to use a race-ready, competitive Fireball at an upcoming regatta on Dublin Bay. Applications are invited to sail a modern Wide Bow Winder Fireball, race ready and properly maintained in the upcoming Open and Classic Fireball Regatta at Clontarf Yacht & Boat Club over the weekend of 14/15th June 2014 - 2½ weeks away. This is a genuine opportunity to sample Fireball racing in a competitive boat which is insured for racing. Minimal conditions attached!

This is a bona-fide promotion of the Fireball Class due to the generous donation of the boat for the weekend by a high profile member of the Class.
The class is looking for;
a) A written submission setting out your dinghy sailing/racing experience.
b) Any evidence of Fireball sailing experience (not compulsory).
c) A combination of two people (helm and crew) who will sail the boat together, (No substitutions will be allowed.) on both days of the regatta – 6-race schedule.
d) Evidence of your interest in sailing/racing a Fireball.

You will be required to join the Fireball Class - €20 for both of you and pay the entry fee to the regatta.

Deadline for applications is 3pm, Tuesday 4th June 2014, so that a decision can be made after Tuesday night racing on the same evening. Applications should be directed to [email protected]
