It's still two months away but entries for the 2025 Fireball Worlds on Lake Garda have already reached 127 boats.

As the home of Fireballing, it's no great surprise that the UK is providing the largest squad with 38 entries but, what is really exciting, is that the second largest contingent is coming from Australia, with 17 teams making the long journey from Down Under.

Hosted by Circolo Vela Arco, which is nestled between Riva and Torbole at the northern end of the Lake, the event is taking place from Thursday 21st to Friday 29th August, with racing commencing on Sunday 24th August. Full details of the event can be found on 2025.fireballworlds.com

The Fireball is really strengthening Worldwide and it bodes well for the 2026 Worlds being hosted by Royal Torbay Yacht Club in the UK.
