... Youtube reference to 2011 barge match race videos... Thanks Stephen. Nice demonstration of the barges. Looks like it was from Rochester to the E end of the Isle of Grain, the power station is prominent now and then. Twenty miles there and back? I've never seen spinnakers on working barges. I was looking at an index to a local newspaper the other day and there was a barge race in 1903, so you never know. They turned round at the Martello Tower, close to where my mother's photo (above) was taken.
