Fireballs are hot boats, fun to sail. I tried, but failed, to get a class established in CT.
When I taught sailing, back then, my encouragement to the non-winners was that the race winners rarely learned much, but that those behind had many examples of better sailing.
Mandatory MG content: My TD towed a Penguin dinghy on a trailer for short distances, and an MGB towed a Laser dinghy many miles.
I had to look up the VJ dinghy. Aussies sail harder than we do. That is a fast boat, large sail plan, looks to be a hoot.

She was a scorcher and I had no qualms having her as my partner. The sails where made by the bloke's wife and were marginally better than wet toast. I was awarded a cup by the club for being last every race. The daughter and I became firm friends and I visited her many times when she went to the Sadlers Wells Ballet School UK - she was a ballerina....... Not a "Flying Dutchman" but an "Iona". Oh, for submission endorsement...I was driving an MG TD in those days!
