Ouyang Matilda Sailboats

Ouyang Boat Works of Whitby, Ontario, which went out of business in the late 1980's, is best known for producing the Aloha range of sailboats. However, in the early 1970's before and for a while after the Alohas were introduced, Ouyang made a number of Matilda 16, 20 and 23 boats. 

Until recently I owned an Aloha 28, and I still look after the Aloha Owners Association website. Doing some research on the Matildas when I was first approached by an owner a while ago, I couldn't find details of any Owners Association and there was virtually nothing on the internet about the boats. This site gathers together the information that came to light, and to which many owners have subsequently added pictures or other details. If you can add to or correct any of this information, or have any other comments, please 

There is an article on the History of Ouyang Boatworks on the Aloha Owners Association website.

As well as the Matilda 20s produced by Ouyang in Canada, this model was built by other manufacturers in the UK, South Africa and Australia, and this is reflected in the distribution of boats which you will see in the Owners Listing.

Thanks for visiting, and please check back from time to time to see if there are new items to view either on this website (check the "What's New?" page) or the Matilda Forum pages. Since we do not publish owners email addresses on the site, the Matilda Forum is the main means of communication between owners and a valuable source of information and advice.
