The taste of the last limoncellos may still be lingering on the taste buds following the recent 135 boat Worlds on Lake Garda, but the Fireball Class is already turning its attention to next year's World Championship being hosted by Royal Torbay Yacht Club in the UK.

The event incorporates the UK Nationals and runs from Monday 20th to Friday 31st July.

The event website can be found at 2026.fireballworlds.com and contains the provisional schedule and details of accommodation options. Further content, including the Notice of Race, will be added to the site over the next few months.
