What an incredible day on the water at this year's Bart's Bash. 22 boats of all shapes and sizes set sail on a beautiful September day. The race started from the Club Line, with the Race Team aboard the historic HSL 102 - one of the RAF's WWII high-speed launches - the event was a one-off!

The calm winds brought everyone closer to shore with Fortuna as the committee boat. The winds also meant that the sounds of laughter could be heard across the Solent. And, of course, Bart made a grand appearance on the back of a skiff!

Thanks to all who joined us and gave generous donations. The fundraising was supported by our local celebrity and you can still donate via www.justgiving.com/campaign/bartsbash2024
