Atlantic Challenge USA, a chapter of the Traditional Small Craft Association, and Atlantic Challenge International, keeps traditional maritime skills alive through community rowing, sail training, coastal camping expeditions, and participation in international Contests of Seamanship.
Our aim since 1986 is to provide experiences for personal development, community building, seamanship skills, and a connection to maritime heritage through building, rowing and sailing traditional wooden boats, primarily Bantry Bay gigs.
