Edme

 Edme was built by Cann's of Harwich in 1898 and
named after the Edme Company of Mistley
who are still trading today.
Edme stands for English Diastatic Malt Extract.

Edme is built of wood, mostly oak and
has never had an engine
 At 80ft long, 18ft wide and drawing 2ft 10"
she is an amazing ship to sail


Memorable day sails, weekend parties 
or the unique experience of participating
in annual East Coast Sailing Barge Races.

​ Edme is a fantastic venue alongside the quay at
​the top of St Osyth Creek for that special event:
birthday, anniversary
or just family and friends getting together

Edme can be found on Airbnb for a completely unique and genuinely eccentric space that is rich in history and character www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/19690588

Her home is at St Osyth Boatyard where a group of friends are her loving caretakers and have been sailing, holiday making and maintaining her for over 25 years

About Sailing Barge Edme

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 in 1992.

Being one of only three engineless barges sailing today, she takes pride in her sailing skills. With little alteration since she was built, her large cargo hold below deck, makes for a great open space. She is kitted out with comfy sofas, a 'Galley' and a very large dining table. Berths are situated at either end of the barge.

The stunning wooden construction is very much in evidence down below and provides a cosy ambience for all occasions
