SUNDAY SAILINGS Get an alternative view of the city from 1ts hidden waterways.
Edinburgh has a canal. Honest. Tucked in behind Cargo is the Edinburgh Quay where. unbeknownst to the majority of the city‘s inhabitants. a lucky few get up to all sorts on the water. The narrow-boat operating company Re-Union is seeking to change this with their newest activity on offer: Sunday sailing
trips.
Completed in 1822. the Union Canal stretches from Edinburgh Quay (that‘s behind Cargo) to the Falkirk Wheel. After being closed in 1965 the Millennium Link project regenerated the canal and built the Wheel. making it useable for various touring and residential boats. It was through living on the canal that Re- Union‘s founders Jay Lamb and Sam Baumber recognised the potential for getting more locals familiar with the waterway and then out onto it. ‘The company, which hires their boat out for youth groups, volunteer training and staff retreats, provides a unique chance for local people to interact with their local landscape,‘ says development manager Barbara Lyon. She believes that, ‘the view of Edinburgh from the canal is very different to the view of Edinburgh from w . g; _.

anywhere else,‘ and is keen to give everyone the chance to see it for themselves.
Re-Union seeks to bring together people and boats that would never have otherwise met. In an effort to
root the project firmly in the community, volunteers maintain, crew and drive the boat. The Sunday round trips from the Quay to Harrison Park are an opportunity for people just to rock up and sail off, or the engine- powered equivalent. They even provide a cup of tea and a biscuit on the boat, these culinary delights made
possible by the onboard kitchen. With a fully
functioning toilet and central heating also installed, Re-Union is challenging preconceived ideas about what a boat can be like.
Currently, the company also offer canoe building workshops, while plans for the future involve furthering the accessibility of the canal by building a wide-beam boat that will enable wheelchair users to get on board. As Lyon says, she is ‘interested in the water and what waterways can do. the power of waterways.‘ This power is about to provide a tangible link between the communities the canal passes through rather than being a dumping ground for abandoned shopping trolleys.
