2025 Fireball World Championship at Circolo Vela Arco - Preview

by Elena Giolai 22 Nov 20:17 NZDT 22-30 August 2025

The 2025 Fireball Class Sailing World Championship will be in Italy, on the north shore of Lake Garda: it will certainly be an event full of competition, friendly atmosphere and fun!

The video preview of the highly anticipated competition, which will take place in August at Circolo Vela Arco, is online. A unique opportunity to witness an unforgettable regatta in one of the most iconic locations in world sailing, with perfect wind conditions and a participation that promises to be record-breaking.

Lake Garda, with its crystal-clear waters and spectacular cliffs, is the ideal stage for this internationally important event. The organisation, by Circolo Vela Arco, in collaboration with the Italian Sailing Federation and the National and International Fireball Classes, promises a week of excitement, competition and great sportsmanship.

We invite all sailing enthusiasts, and of the Fireball class in particular, to organise their trip in good time given the high season and not to miss the opportunity to be part of an event, that will write the history of the class, on the waters of Garda Trentino.
