FIREBALL FREE TO GOOD HOME

Post by infidel »

I am giving away my Fireball, sail number 525. I would be delighted if it went to someone who will appreciate it. The painted hull is in good condition, the varnished decks and interior less so. There are two old mains, a jib, mainsheet with blocks, jibsheet, sound rudder and tiller, two centreboards, boom, very sound mast, though some of the running rigging could probably do with renewal, a cover, and a bespoke trailer. This will obviously go with the boat, but can't be used to transport her, as one tyre is shot, and there is a huge amount of play in the bearing on the same side (three nut hub). There are also a pair of fascinating early trapeze harnesses in the pictures which I have taken of her, and which I can mail if you wish. Please be aware that there is no spinnaker, as the rules didn't allow for one when she was built in Alderley Edge! Although I have looked after her for many years, and actually re-painted and varnished her a long time ago, I never managed to sail her, as a huge number of other collectable dinghies claimed precedence. You possibly know the feeling............................You're more than welcome to come and have a look. I'm in Market Drayton in north Shropshire. Stewart NO LONGER AVAILABLE!
