Every year, the barges compete in a series of 8 races, with the barge securing the most points being declared Champion Barge for that year.
There are three classes – Coasting, Staysail and Bowsprit.
Races are held on the Medway, Blackwater, Thames, Colne, Swale, Orwell, at Southend and a Passage Race from the Medway to the Orwell. There is also an unofficial match at Whitstable every year…
