FireBall Italian Championship 2026
September 10 – 13, 2026

The Fireball is a historic high-performance two-seater dinghy. Born in the 1960s, it has established itself over time as a fast, technical, and still very relevant boat, capable of expressing its full potential especially in carrying and planing gaits.

The Italian Fireball Championship marks the return of the tricolor title to Punta Ala, where Centro Velico Punta Ala previously hosted the event in 2017. The best Italian crews will compete for the Italian Champion titles, in a major event for Italian light sailing.
An event that renews the bond between Punta Ala and this iconic sailing class, confirming itself as one of the most significant moments of the season for Italian Fireball.
