More about the Fireball dinghy
The Fireball, designed by Peter Milne, is a classic 16-foot hard-chine racing dinghy with a trapeze and a reputation for speed and exciting handling. Originally built in plywood and now mostly found in GRP, it blends classic performance with strong international class support.
Its planing hull and tactical feel make it especially rewarding for crews who enjoy symmetric-spinnaker racing and good boat handling.
Sailing Performance
With a Portsmouth Yardstick of around 960, the Fireball is a quick and highly rewarding two-person dinghy. It excels in breezier conditions and rewards sharp tactical thinking, smooth trapeze work and good symmetric-spinnaker handling.
