The Dutch Nationals 2004 was planned on 20-23 May, at Muiderzand, nr.Amsterdam on the Ijsselmeer.   However, unfortunately the event had to be CANCELLED due to lack of advanced registrations.  Old information can be found here.

A gentle introduction to the Fireball is available on the Fireball International web site (click on The Boat) showing why Fireball is an exciting but cost effective and easy to sail boat.

Fireball regattas in 2004 are shown in a Fireball 2004 calendar , including worlds in Adelaide and Europeans in Slovenia ! (NB only includes a selection of open events reachable from Holland: of course there are many more events around the world, especially in UK and France).  A provisional calendar has been prepared for 2005.
