Welcome to the John Gardner Chapter of the
Traditional Small Craft Association

Whether you have an interest in traditional boatbuilding, messing about in small boats, or helping to preserve our maritime heritage -- come join us and share the comradery of kindred spirits. We invite you to attend one of our meetings, go for a row, or help with our next boatbuilding project.

"Our obligation is to make sure that the richness of our small craft heritage
is passed on intact to the generations that will come after us." -- John Gardner
