Blue Hill Maritime Heritage Festival

The Downeast Chapter is proud to host and co-sponsor Blue Hill's Maritime Heritage Festival. This annual event takes place in August, the exact date depends on the tide that year, at Blue Hill's Town Wharf and historic village.


Welcome to the Downeast Chapter of the Traditional Small Craft Association. We are an enthusiastic group of sailors, canoeists, kayakers, and boat builders scattered along the rugged coast of Maine.

Throughout the year we schedule sailing and rowing events along the coast and inland lakes and rivers of Maine. We may schedule field trips and presentations. Our main event was the Small Reach Regatta. The 15th and final SRR was held in July 2021 where we had 114 boats register.
