The Couta Coaching Program can be broken into 3 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 coutacoach@sscbc.com.au 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 coutacoach@sscbc.com.au to find out more.
