Ahoy there! We are the Ottawa Small Boat Messabout, a group of boat enthusiasts who sail on Ottawa and St. Lawrence Rivers, Rideau Canal, on the lakes (great or small) and any other body of water we can reach.

If you enjoy building boats, sailing boats or just talking boats - whether traditional, unusual, or just any small boats - welcome aboard!

You can check out some of our recent messabouts and learn about upcoming ones in our Log Book, go through the gallery of the Boats We Sail, or enjoy sailing Stories and Videos by our members.
