Bart's Bash to support World Sailing MNAs affected by Hurricane Irma

The Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation has pledged to use funds raised from the 2017 Bart’s Bash to help World Sailing Member National Authorities (MNAs) affected by Hurricane Irma.

Funds raised Bart’s Bash, held from 16-17 September globally, will help those affected rebuild their community sailing projects, allowing them to continue to deliver grassroots sailing programmes. 
 
A number of Islands in the Caribbean affected by Hurricane Irma have taken part in Bart’s Bash in previous years and were due to take part in 2017.

Bart’s Bash is an annual fundraising and mass participation campaign in aid of and organised by the Andrew Simpson Foundation. Funds raised to date

Bart’s Bash unites sailors from across the globe to participate in one colossal global sailing event in memory of the Olympic sailor, Andrew ‘Bart’ Simpson.
 
The event was founded in 2014 and was verified by Guinness World Records as ‘The Largest Sailing Race in the World (multiple venues)’.

Bart’s Bash is open to all sailing clubs, yacht clubs, scout groups, sea cadets, windsurfing clubs, individuals and any venue globally that can host a race and is inspired to take part. The race details can be set locally by each venue, and are not onerous – many of the club venues use one of their normal morning races as their annual Bart’s Bash race.
