AMBO Association of Model Barge Owners.













Racing takes place from Norwich down to Chichester and model lakes in between.
The ones with the sticky out bits at the front holding the two sails are called "Bowsprit Barges" and the ones without are called "Staysail Barges" and they race in separate categories.
All the model Barges sail without the aid of motors and rely on the skippers pulling in or letting out the sails as necessary.
