Barts Bash returns for 2024! This is the world’s largest sailing event in memory of multi-hull sailor Andrew Simpson and raises money for the Andrew Simpson Foundation.
Andrew ‘Bart’ Simpson was an Olympic Gold and Silver medallist who tragically passed away in 2013. Andrew passionately believed that everyone should have the opportunity to experience sailing and watersports, regardless of their background or circumstances.
The first Bart’s Bash took place in 2014. Thousands of people from around the world came together to race in memory of Bart. The event was such a success it was awarded a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest sailing race.
Bart’s Bash continues to connect the global sailing community, creating opportunities for people to get on the water and raise essential funds for the ASF. With your help, Bart’s Bash will continue to be a global event, enabling people to get out on the water and keeping Bart’s name alive for generations to come. Together we can transform lives through sailing.
Join us for an all in race (Mono and multihulls together) starting at 2PM on Saturday 14th September. Your finishing time and the overall course distance is submitted to the Barts Bash team and your placing will be combined into a set of global results.
The event has been a great hit in the past with 20+ dinghies and yachts competing. The river certainly looks full as competitors circle the start line waiting for the off! FFSC extends the invitation to members of other clubs to join in the race.
