Hi all
I am just back from a few days holiday with the kids - I don't often get completely away from running YachtsandYachting.com very often. Please keep this thread on the subject of what a great event Bart's Bash was. It is no place whatsoever for petty bickering. I 100% agree with Rodney's comment, "Everyone please don't use this thread for sad and unpleasant stuff. Pay some respect for a great guy". I sailed with Bart at school a long time ago - it was an absolute honour to do so. The best thing we can do is promote sailing on this forum and concentrate on the very many positives the sport has. Best Regards, Mark |

I happen to think the Bart bash is a fitting tribute and added so much to so many peoples sailing season. So often we here about sailing being in decline, but this has helped unite many and bring people out onto the water that have not been for a number of years. Think of all those boats pulled out of the nettles and used as the y should be. I didn't know Bart, but he sounded like a great guy and this event is a fitting tribute to a man that was loved by so many and delivered such astonishing results both in life and after.

Bart was a great Finn sailor and one of the nicest blokes on the Finn circuit. I guess that there are no surprises that so many Finn sailors turned out. He was always happy to help and advise everyone. I see Bart's Bash as a tribute to a great sailor and, more important, a great person.
Everyone please don't use this thread for sad and unpleasant stuff. Pay some respect for a great guy! |

Well that's damn peculiar. It now says d zero 5, d-one 5... But all the totals should be vaguely half the final ones.
Still amazed at the number of Finns... Obviously the astonishing numbers they get for their masters worlds aren't a quirk and the big lumps are popular. Edited by JimC - 24 Oct 14 at 8:00pm |

There is a problem with the zero data, stu bailey from my club competed i. A zero but for some reason his result is not included. I beleive there is confusion with the d-one and zero data. I know of 4 that competed without asking the others! Edited by MerlinMags - 24 Oct 14 at 8:57pm |

Some participation numbers for Adult singlehanded classes on their current very incomplete results... Some popular ones, and some recent classes

We had over 90 boats and over 150 people out at Carsington, from kids in oppies to 20ft leadmines.
Wish we could get half as many people interested week in week out. The wind played ball too, blowing a rookie friendly F2/3 right down the lake giving about the largest course we can manage. The RO made everyone do 3 laps so some of the toppers must have been out for a couple of hours (front of the fast fleet was finishing after 50 minutes or so).
Is this going to be every year? If so, great. If not we'll have to do it again anyway. ![]() |
