<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Thought I'd share an update on the Bart's Bash regatta with all of you.<br><br></div>Some context: Bart's Bash aims to be the largest sailing regatta in the world, and recorded as such in the Guinness Book of World Records. As you can see from their website (<a href="http://www.bartsbash.co.uk/">http://www.bartsbash.co.uk/</a>), clubs worldwide are participating. <br>
<br></div><div>Three bits of news I'd like to share:<br><br>#1<br></div><div><br></div>Bart's Bash starts and finishes must take place between 00.00 on the 21<sup>st</sup> September GMT and 23.59 on the 21<sup>st</sup> September GMT. Here in SF, that window is from <span tabindex="0" class=""><span class="">4pm on Sat 20th Sept</span></span> to 4pm on <span tabindex="0" class=""><span class="">Sun 21st Sept.</span></span> <br>
<br></div>That means we can do <u><b>Bart's Bash on Sunday during the day.</b></u> It doesn't have to be a 3 am start, <br>as rumored earlier. <br></div><br>#2<br><br></div><div>To qualify our entries for the Guinness record, we will need the following, according to the regatta guide: <br>
<ol><li>An independent witness on site. This is normally someone who is not connected to TISC, or friend or family. Totally independent and a person such as teacher, public servant or other professional. Please send me your ideas for this. Perhaps we could have someone from the sailing press attend?</li>
<li>Photography and videography record of the event, possibly the entire thing. <u><b>Jono</b></u>, I'm wondering if we could leverage your GoPro for this? In general, the more photos we can take, the better.<br></li>
<li>Entry, results and follow up process procedure to be followed accurately. I think we're in good shape here, since we do this every week.<br></li></ol>#3<br><br></div><div>This is the week before fleet champs (Sep 27-28) and so we will use this time to load up boats on trailers and roof racks.<br>
