Happy, but cold and wet! A great afternoon sailing at the loch for Bart's bash, thanks to all that came along. 18 knots gusting to 25 knots meant for some real fun racing! Big thank you to John Patience as race organiser and Jeremy Armitage as time keeper, we could n't have done it with out you. A couple of comments from the sailors; "it was brilliant" and "best sail of the season today at barts bash, perfect end to the sailing season". Congratutaltions to Kirsty Maclean and Jack Lockhart for winning the race (full results to follow). Also got 4 new members sign up so not bad for a wet and windy afternoon! x #bartsbash
Looking forward to taking part in Bart's Bash again (Fingers crossed tonight's blow dies down to just the right amount of wind tomorrow!) #bartsbash
We are meeting at loch bhasapol at 1.30pm for a 2.30pm race.
Bart's bash is the world's largest sailing race, a great opportunity to get members on the water, introduce new members to sailing and raise money. This year Bart's Bash is raising money for local sailing clubs so there will be a donations bucket for Tiree Maritime Trust's community sailing programme.Tiree's new Skiff in the water!
