The Couta Coaching Program can be broken into three areas:
- Couta Crew Course: This is the ideal first step to get involved with Couta Boats at SSCBC. Our Couta Crew Course runs over two sessions which are 2 hours long. The aim of the course is to teach the basic crew components needed to feel comfortable sailing in another Member’s Couta Boat.
- Couta Racing: This is our more active program. We aim to have Ripple competing at every Club race throughout the season. We will have between 3-4 spots available each Club race for those wishing to join in. Please email [email protected] to join our crew.
- Couta Cruise: This is an on water experience which could be a birthday surprise, Corporate treat or a family outing. Please enquire at [email protected] to find out more.

How much is the training course? Members is $160, Non-members is $200
Can I charter a Couta Boat for a day with my family? Absolutely. We can provide a unique day out with your family. We will provide a skipper and one crew member to accompany you. You can either get your hands salty and join the crew, or sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
Do I need experience to race on a Couta Boat? We recommend those new to sailing, or even those who need to freshen up their skills, to complete a Couta Coaching course first. Our sailing team can assist to make sure the conditions are right to go out for the first time.
