Story

Take part in Bart's Bash on 12th-13th September and help us transform lives through sailing.

Bart's Bash gives the sailing community an opportunity to unite and remember Andrew Bart Simpson, a double Olympic Medallist who tragically lost his life whist training for the Americas Cup in 2013.

Andrew was a talented sailor who firmly believed in the benefits that participation in sport can bring to young people. The Foundation now exists to continue his vision and to bring change for thousands of young people.
