A Race around Green Island, Manly QLD for all "Off The Beach" classes including windsurfers on Sunday 18th September 2016.

Bart's Bash is a global sailing race taking place at hundreds of venues, with thousands of sailors in hundreds of different classes of boat around the world on the weekend 17th & 18th September. Put simply it's the day the world goes sailing!

It's a day the sailing community remembers Andrew 'Bart' Simpson, a double Olympic medallist who tragically lost his life whilst training for the Americas cup in 2013. Bart's Bash is an annual fundraising and participation campaign promoted by the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation (ASSF).
