Fireballs are sailed actively in North America, both in Canada and the United States. Each year the North American Fireball fleet holds a Canadian National Championships and a US National Championships as well as a combined North American Championship. In the United States you will find established Fireball fleets in Florida, Arizona, Oregon, Colorado, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In Canada, the Fireball is sailed actively in Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia.

The North American Fireball fleet is made up of professionally produced as well as amateur built boats, with several schools in the US having built Fireballs as part of their school programs.

Our Mission:

Our mission is to promote the Fireball Class in North America as a Fast, Friendly and Fun boat to sail. This includes encouraging Fireball racing on the local, national and international level, developing strong fleets in Canada and the US, maintaining the one design nature of the class while also keeping the boat modern, and lastly, promoting communication amongst Fireball fleets and sailors worldwide.
