This site is primarily of interest to Ottawa area C&C 27 sailors, and those who might be interested in joining the local C&C 27 fleet.
C&C 27 Sailing on the Ottawa River
- Dedication of The Mike O’Sullivan Cup, awarded to the C&C 27 finishing first overall for the season, in the Interclub One-Design racing.
- Check out this YouTube video, “Welcome to the Ottawa C&C 27 Fleet”, with photos & video of the 2012 Ontario Championships (the NOD), cruising on the Ottawa River, and our famous raft-ups.
- Read Dawn Fasken’s article from the May 2008 issue of The Telltale about C&C 27 sailing in Ottawa — Have your cake and eat it too.
- The C&C 27 seems to be the ideal boat for Ottawa for those who want to both race and cruise — there are over 50 C&C 27s (not including ~8 MK 5s) spread between the three clubs on the Upper Ottawa River.
- In Ottawa, C&C 27s enjoy good racing two nights a week: Tuesdays we race PHRF Division 2 with similar boats, and on Thursdays, we get our own start for One-Design racing.
- C&C 27 Raft-ups are an Ottawa tradition — click here to learn more about these enjoyable social events.

- Buying a boat in the U.S. This is an option definitely worth considering.
- A Pre-Purchase Checklist. This is a list that I put together when we were looking for a boat, to record notes on how the boat was rigged and equipped.
