Blue Zulu has raced in Ottawa regularly since 2004. NSC is home to ~40 C&C 27s, and there are another 20+ at neighbouring BYC and CVGR. We race Tuesdays (PHRF, with spinnakers) and Thursday (One-design, with spinnakers), as well as weekends. Blue Zulu is typically out 50-60 days/year; most of that is racing with a crew of six for tight round-the-buoys action.

The C&C 27 is the perfect boat for Lac Deschênes, a wide part of the Ottawa River ~10 miles west of the parliament buildings. The local fleet enjoys great one-design and handicap racing, and regular summer raft-ups -- our record so far is 13 C&C 27s rafted together! Check out our local C&C 27 page.
