Medway and Swale Boating Association
The voice of boating on the tidal Medway and Swale
Fantastic opportunity to explore the river Medway and her creeks, sailing 26 miles starting and finishing at Medway Yacht Club. Open to monohull dinghies and keel boats of 30 feet and under with a PY number less than 1315 for the full Marathon and 1386 for the Half Marathon. More information…
The “Heroine of Dunkirk” was briefly towed out of her berth yesterday to allow the minesweeper Tongham to access Gillingham Pier.
The Wayfarer Eastern Championships were held by Medway Yacht Club at the weekend in gusty westerly winds. As you can see in the photo, the new orange MSBA race marks were used. If your club would like to use these or the original white ones, please contact MYC.
The Environment Agency, which manages the non-tidal Medway, is reported to be confident that East Farleigh Lock will reopen on the afternoon of Friday 21 July. There may be a scramble as boats which have waiting all season to move up or down the river will take the opportunity to move.
