Also a very fine barge which has been doing well in the races. Here's a photo I took of her at the 2021 Blackwater match.

Commercial cargo under sail again was created by Pete Milne
A sailing ship has become the first since the 1970s to be authorised as a commercial cargo carrier, and is now looking for cargo to carry.

The  Sea-Change Sailing Trust , which owns the  Blue Mermaid  sailing ship has received permission from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency for the vessel to carry cargoes of up to 110 tonnes, between Lowestoft and Sandwich – and up the Thames.
