Thames Sailing Barge Centaur Charter 2010
CENTAUR was built of wood by Cann brothers at Harwich in 1895. A typical Essex coasting barge she is 65 registered tons. After a long career in trade she was converted to carry passengers in 1965. The Thames Sailing Barge Trust have extensively restored her.
Centaur is now used to provide individuals with weekend voyages, and Charters and every summer she now cruises the Thames Estuary and the Essex, Suffolk and Kent rivers
Experiencing the full pleasures and excitement of sailing on an historic vessel such as a Thames Sailing barge is not as difficult as one might imagine. The Thames Sailing Barge Trust, which owns both Pudge and Centaur, offers the opportunity to sail to various locations around the Thames Estuary and also to take part in competition with other barges in the various barge matches arranged throughout the sailing season.
The Thames Sailing Barge Trust (TSBT) was established as a club in 1948, becoming a registered charity in 2003.
The Trust, which is run entirely by volunteers, has these key aims:
1. Preserve two historic Thames barges and keep them sailing
2. Preserve and teach the skills needed to sail and maintain our barges
3. Educate the public in the history and traditions of the working sailing barge
4. Support the above by maintaining records and archives of the Club/Trust activities
By becoming a Member of the Trust you will directly contribute to the preservation of Thames Barges and the skills needed to maintain and sail them.
