Barge Matches
Thalatta will be traveling to 2 Barge Matches this season. These trips will enable a limited number of people to join her at Ipswich, live on board during the voyage down to the venue, crew during the match itself, and crew her on the return trip back to Ipswich. Overnight accommodation will be either in spare cabins, in hammocks, or if desired in camp beds. All food on board will be provided and prepared by the crew and will be basic and filling.
The intention is that everyone joining us for the trips will take an active part in helping the crew sail and run all aspects of running Thalatta during offshore accommodated passages. We will anchor each night in one of the many rivers and creeks on our way to and from the match venue.
Thames Match on Saturday 15th June – Crew will join after dinner on Wednesday 12th ready to depart early the following day and make our way down to Gravesend to arrive on Friday evening 14th. We will take part in the Match itself on Saturday and depart back to Ipswich on Sunday morning arriving during the day on Monday 17th. Where we anchor for Thursday and Monday will depend on wind, tide and the skipper’s inclination. The entire trip will involve 5 days and nights on board for and inclusive cost of £520 per person.
Colne Match on Saturday 14th September – Crew will join after dinner on Thursday 12th ready to depart early the following day and make our way down to Brightlingsea to arrive on Friday evening 13th.
