Thousands of sailors from around the world are taking part in Bart's Bash.

The Guinness World Record attempt for the Largest Sailing Race in the World, and fundraising event is organised by the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation.

The aim of Bart’s Bash is to remember Andrew ‘Bart’ Simpson, to inspire a new generation of sailors, to encourage clubs to open their doors and to fundraise for the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation.

All the funds raised through Bart’s Bash will support the development and delivery of the Foundation’s charitable programmes internationally.
