'Lady Daphne' before start of 2015 Thames Barge Match
'Lady Daphne' before start of 2015 Thames Barge Match
It was to come 2nd in the Coasting class. Tilbury power station is beyond. It received a penalty for crossing the start line early. With hardly any wind at the start and a brisk tidal flow downriver it requires some judgement to arrive at the start before time but with as little time wasted as possible.
