The big and flat-bottomed hull made of steel with sideboards, flat sides, slopping bow and stern and a relative large sailing area are characteristic.

Swimmie, Stumpie or Sprittie how they are called are distinguished most by their rigging, with or without a bowsprit or with or without a topmast.

Even since 1863 the Thames Barges were sailed in match races.

Swimmie, Stumpie oder Sprittie unterscheiden sich vor allem in der Takelung, mit oder ohne Bugspriet, mit oder ohne Topstenge.

Schon seit 1863 segelt man mit Thames Barges Match Races.
