Preparations continue for the 2026 Fireball Worlds hosted by Royal Torbay Yacht Club at the end of July.

As part of the entry process, an Expression of Interest has been launched. Pay £50 and you will be put into a draw to take place on 1st November 2025. The first non-UK boat drawn will receive a free entry to the UK Nationals and the Worlds, whilst the first UK boat drawn will receive a jib kindly donated by P&B.

The rules are pretty simple. The £50 needs to be paid by 31st October and full entry needs to be made before the Early Bird Entry cut-off. The £50 is non-refundable but will be deducted from your entry fee.

To sign-up, just scan the QR code below:

Further details of the Worlds can be found on the event website at 2026.fireballworlds.com
