Hi Beaky, Great site but I gotta ask , what is a barge match and why the committee boat ? :confused: Is a "match" another word for a race ?

Race or competition, like a 'tennis match'...

I like Gavin's blog for UK boating stuff -

I understood match racing to be between two boats of the same design or two teams of two or three boats racing against each other in the same race. That's NZ though. England can be a bit funny with terminology, what with their uphauls and so on : )

"A bit funny...".One could get offended!
To match your skills/boat /what-ever against someone else. Ergo, a race.
Lovely pics Jill- used to be my part of the world.
