The US Coast Guard shows no record of an HIN manufacturer ID of TGA.

http://www.uscgboating.org/recalls/mic1.aspx

The first 3 letters designate the manufacturer and the last 2 digits the year manufactured.

You boat may have been built in 1978.

Without a photo, this can only be a guess, but there is a good chance that what you have it a Lightning class sloop. These have been built by Allen Boat Co. of Buffalo NY, for many years. I think they are still in business. It's still a very active class, so you should have no trouble finding a picture of one on the net and make a comparison.
