The third Fireball Fun Day took place today at the DMYC in Dun Laoghaire under the direction of class captain Marie Barry. The idea, says Barry, is to show what an 'exciting, stable, affordable boat the Fireball is to sail'.
Top Fireball helmsman Conor Clancy took new crew, Tim Crowe out for a sail as part of the weekend class effort that as well as supporting newer members of the fleet also lets complete novices try out Fireball sailing.
Barry says the class will have more opportunities for new sailors to participate in the Spring, and for experienced sailors there will be slots available in the Fireball Leinsters at Clontarf Yacht & Boat Club on October 17 and 18 and of course during the DMYC Frostbites from November through to late March.
