2021 Black PlaquesOne of the objectives of the Chelmer Canal Trust has always been to encourage use of the Navigation by boats. The 2021 black plaques are to a new design. To obtain one, you need to navigate your boat the full length of the navigation, using all the locks. You will need to take photographs of your boat in both Heybridge Basin and Springfield Basin and send them to us. With your permission, we would like to post your achievement here to encourage others to follow your example. So as these plaques need a qualifying journey, it also needs to be in a qualifying vessel. I.E. one which needs to use the locks, and can�t just be plopped into the water at each end, after potentially making the bulk of the journey on the roof of a car! We would also ideally like to see the plaque proudly on display on or in the vessel which made the journey, so please bear this in mind before applying for one. |

The Blue PlaquesThese plaques are "Souvenir" plaques, available to buy without any qualification needed.
To qualify for this plaque your boat must have been at the 1997 National Trailboat Rally at Springfield Basin.
This was a limited edition numbered plaque. (number on reverse) In order to qualify for this plaque you had to navigate the whole length of the navigation. A photograph of your boat in Springfield Basin, and another of your boat in Heybridge Basin was accepted as proof of this achievement.
