benny14 6 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 A tribute to Andrew Simpson... Be good to get some kiwi yacht clubs signed up! The Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation is planning a monster sized attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for 'The Largest Dinghy Sailing Race' in the World Ever, which we are calling 'Bart's Bash'! The idea is to have a mass participation club race simultaneously across the whole country. We know that pretty much every club in the country has a race on Sunday morning, with all kinds of boats taking part, the goal is to get everyone participating together to create one big race. If we can get over 200 clubs taking part, with over 10,000 sailors on the water, they will become new Guinness World Record Holders for dinghy racing in Andrew 'Bart' Simpson's name. Jez Payne from 'The Bart Project' commented "It is one of those ideas that has huge potential to be a major, major event that absolutely honours the core of what Andrew was about". An event briefing for clubs & competitors is going to be launched on the 1st of February and there will be further dates for the Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions. 'Bart's Bash' 11:00 BST on Sunday 21st September. http://www.bartsbash.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/bartsbash Link to post Share on other sites
