For the first time, the UK Fireball Association has created a survey that is open to all people who sail, regardless of whether they currently sail a Fireball.

Our aims are to understand what we can do to help our members get more out of their Fireball sailing, to discover how we can encourage potential Fireball sailors to join us and to learn from the experiences of other sailors.

Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. The deadline for completion is Monday 10th December 2018.

The results will be published in the New Year.
