Barge Match Dates for 2009
The Thames Sailing Barge is synonymous with the East Coast, and these remarkable spritsail rigged cargo vessels were in trade right into the 1960’s. About 30 of them are still active, mostly earning their keep as charter vessels. Several “matches” are held round our coast, the main ones listed below. If you are in the area, they are well worth watching!
