“Members of East Dorset Sailing Club have supported Bart’s Bash since its inception in 2014. By doing so, we bring together our members to an event on and off the water. When the race is completed we have a BBQ and open the bar and reflect on the fun we had on the water. Bart’s Bash is a catalyst for our club. It is a fundraiser, a social event, a mixed ability race and a trophy for our junior members. It is our flagship event of the season and every year it just gets better and better.”
