The spectacular annual barge match will start at Gillingham on Saturday morning, probably quite early as HW is at 0530. The barges race out to the Medway Approach Buoy and back up the river.
The June 2016 issue of Yachting Monthly featured an article on the Medway Barge Match by Nick Ardley.
There is an article in Yachting Monthly about the 2015 match… I told the ‘barge’ world but interest appeared lacking!
Thanks Nick. Which issue of YM is that? I just got my July issue today.
June issue, out in early May.
Can send a photocopy if like…
