Join us this year for Bart’s Bash

14th September 2025

Bart’s Bash is the flagship fundraising and participation event for the Andrew Simpson Foundation (ASF).  

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.
