TSCA -The Tradtitional Small Craft Association, established in 1970, is a nonprofit educational organization which works to preserve and continue the living traditions, skills, lore, and legends of working and pleasure craft and encourages the design, construction, and use of boats, and embraces contemporary adaptations of traditional designs.

Lost Coast Chapter of the TSCA was formed 2004 in Noyo, CA. Our 50+ active members currently range from Ft. Bragg, CA to Washington to as far away as Florida. They represent aficionados of rowing, sailing, kayaking, canoeing, boat building and restoration. Our intent is to bring together all interested people in Northern California to join in area boating events and chapter-sponsored messabouts. We generally have one chapter-sponsored event every month. These are rows or messabouts in one of the wonderful local waterways, and we sometimes go farther away for special events. Be a part of this exciting organization. Increase your enjoyment of traditional boats and meet other community members who share your interest. Annual dues are $20 per family. All Lost Coast members receive our quarterly newsletter. We also encourage our chapter members to join the national TSCA.

We are dedicated to keeping alive the history of boats and their builders, and to provide encouragement and support to those who would build or restore them. We strive to be a clearing house of sound advice and encouragement, as well as being guides to hard-to-find items. We try to organize opportunities for members and the public at large to engage in the wholesome activities of rowing and sailing. And, most of all, we are totally dedicated to . . . MESSING ABOUT IN BOATS!
