For anyone who doesn’t know what Bart’s Bash is here’s some bits about the foundation..
Bart’s Bash is a global sailing race taking place at 100’s of venues, with 1000’s of sailors in 100’s of different classes of boat around the world. Founded in 2014, the event was verified by Guinness World Records as ‘The Largest Sailing Race in the World’.
Bart’s Bash is the flagship annual event of the Andrew Simpson Foundation. We are inspired by the memory of Olympic Gold and Silver medallist Andrew ‘Bart’ Simpson MBE, who passionately believed that everyone should have the chance to try sailing and enjoy the many benefits that it brings.
Andrew Simpson was also a close friend with the Goodison family and Paul remains an ambassador of the Andrew Simpson Foundation.
