Fireball Gul Golden Dolphin
This Open kicks off the Gul Golden Dolphin Series. Gul is continuing their fantastic support to the UK Fireball Association through sponsorship of this series. Prizes will be awarded to the top three positions in each of the Bronze, Silver and Gold fleets. Plus there will be overall prizes in the series (again distributed through the fleet).
Please note qualifying criteria for the Golden Dolphin Series. Competitors must be members of the Fireball Association. Membership requirements are defined on the UKFA website. In summary: The basic form of membership is now that of a 'Local Member'. This category of membership is [the minimum] required for all competitors competing in Golden Dolphin-badged open meetings. Host clubs are required to ensure that all competitors are, at least, 'Local' members.
With the new Local Membership at just £8 per person, everyone can be in with a chance to win a prize that will more than cover their membership fee, not to mention the other benefits such as discounts on insurance with UK Global.
Silver Scorpion
If you've not already taken part in the Selden SailJuice or the East Midlands Mini-Series, then it's time to dust off your boat and get ready for the 2020 season. This event kicks off a series of seven Silver Scorpion events at clubs all over the country. 2018 was an amazing year, what does 2019 hold for you? A full list of events across the country can be found here.
We look forward to welcoming you. Here's to a fantastic event ahead. If you have any queries please contact
