Ideal for groups interested in an exciting, pure sailing experience.
Sailing Barge Edme
Built by Canns of Harwich in 1898, and named after the EDME Company (English Diastatic Malt Extract), situated at Mistley Quay, Essex, who are still in production today.
Her present owners took her on in 1989 and have enjoyed considerable success in the annual East Coast Barge Races, taking the annual accolade of 'Champion Barge' many times since her arrival on the race circuit.
Being one of only two enginless barges sailing today, she takes pride in her sailing skills. With little alteration since she was built, her large hold makes for an enjoyable open space below for those onboard.
