Rebuilding Dogbolter, Fireball IRL 14150
December 10, 2011
This is Dogbolter, Fireball dinghy 14150, built in Australia by Peter Delange in 1989. I found the boat in this condition in the Coal Harbour in Dun Laoghaire in November 2011. I sailed in the boat many years ago and decided to acquire it for a complete rebuild. My project for the winter 2011 – 2012. Perhaps the boat will sail the 50th anniversary UK National Championships in Cornwall in mid-August 2012.
I am fairly certain that Dogbolter is the only Fireball to have sailed in Australia and four other continents.
