Story

Take part in Bart's Bash 10 on 16th - 17th September 2023 and help us transform lives through sailing.

This year marks the 10th Bart's Bash race. Since 2014, Bart's Bash has given the sailing community an opportunity to unite and remember Andrew 'Bart' Simpson, a double Olympic Champion who tragically lost his life whilst 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 Andrew Simpson Foundation now exists to continue his vision and to bring change for thousands of young people.

By taking part in Bart's Bash, you will be supporting young people from all backgrounds, enabling them to experience sailing, gain qualifications and develop key life skills.

£35 covers the cost of one Discover Sailing Session

£150 supports the running of one term of Sailing Club or Race Club

£600 Gives one aspiring young leader the chance to access our year-long programme

£2,100 pays for one block of 6 sessions of Aiming High for 10 young people

£8,400 allows 40 young people to benefit from the Sail Fit programme

With your support we can increase sport participation, encourage healthy and active life-styles and transform lives through sailing.
