Twenty competitors from across the Island took part in a Charity Event raising over £300 in aid of the Andrew Simpson Foundation at Brading Haven YC last Friday representing Brading Haven YC, Ryde Model YC & Brook YC.
Bart’s Bash is the flagship annual event of the Andrew Simpson Foundation, inspired by Olympic Gold and Silver medalist Andrew ‘Bart’ Simpson MBE who passionately believed that everyone should have the chance to try sailing and enjoy the many benefits that it brings.
This is it’s 10th year and the third year Radio Controlled Model Yachts have taken part.
The racing, in the format of a relay race, had 5 teams each represented by members from each club racing round a course set in Bembridge Harbour in a light easterly breeze.
The winners, Chris Brooks, Tod Baker & Colin Bass where presented with their prizes by BHYC Commodore Jeff Cowen whilst celebrating their win at the bar.
