It encourages the design, construction and use of these boats, and it embraces contemporary variants and adaptations of traditional designs. The Delaware River Chapter of the TSCA is a regional organization providing enjoyable, yet practical links between users, designers, builders, restorers, historians, rowers, paddlers, sailors, government and maritime institutions. The chapter meets on the first Tuesday of each month at locations convenient to the greater Philadelphia area. Over the years we've built railbird skiffs, a variety of dory's, rowing and sailing skiff, several Whisp designs, Six Hour canoes, a computer designed Wine Glass Dory, and two replica Delaware Duckers, one contemporary and one traditional. Working either alone or as a part of a team, the membership builds, sails and maintains their boats as a link to an earlier and easier time.
Members also act as reference advisors for each others home building projects.
No matter what the complexity, material or process. The Delaware River TSCA holds a general membership meeting on the first Tuesday of every month. Visitors are always welcome. Stop by and check it out. Members bring their boats to the general meetings at the Red Dragon for a round robin of evening rowing and sailing before the general meeting.
