048: Barges & Smacks - What's The Difference? - Essex By The Sea
In years gone by hundreds of barges and smacks plyed their trade up and down the Essex coast line.
These vessels are much smaller in number now and now provide a variety of services as well as occassionally racing.
2022 was the 60th Blackwater Sailing Barge Match where over twenty vessels took part in full sail.
Cally Stubbs is a volunteer with the Blackwater Sailing Barge Match Association and explains in this episode the history of the boats and why they are still raced on the open water today.
