Why not join the English Raid which takes place on the East Coast this year: 12 – 16 August, 2026?
The 2026 Raid will be based at Collingwood House, Royal Hospital School, Holbrook, Ipswich IP9 2RX with forays up the River Orwell to Woolverstone and down the River Stour to Shotley.
According to the Raid England website, the idea of making coastal voyages in company, in open boats powered by sail and oar, was given currency by the French group Albacore, led by Charles-Henri le Moing during the 1990s. Called ‘Raids’ in French, the word has slipped into English and lost its usual associations of pillage and destruction – to those who participate at least.
