Barts Bash 2025

Bart's Bash is the flagship fundraising event for the Andrew Simpson Foundation, connecting sailing communities around the world on the same day.

Take part in Bart's Bash 2025 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. Th e Andrew Simpson Foundation now exists to continue his vision and to bring change for thousands of young people.
