Commodore’s Welcome
Welcome to Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club (SSCBC).

As a Club, we feel very fortunate to be given the opportunity to host major regattas such as the RSX 2020 World Windsurfing Championships and the 2020 Youth Championships, and we warmly welcome all competitors and their families to SSCBC. Our prevailing offshore sea breezes, flat water and perfect sailing conditions provide ideal sailing for all dinghies, sailboards and off the beach boats. Our large membership base provides us with a generous group of skilled volunteers who enable SSCBC to host major events such as this. They take great pride in welcoming visiting sailors and I’m sure you will see many smiling faces around the Club to assist you in every way possible.

During your visit to the Club, you may notice we have the largest fleet of Couta boats in Australia, and they are raced competitively most weekends from November to June. I particularly enjoy watching the next generation take the helm so to speak, so that they too can enjoy sailing these iconic boats into the future. Another aspect of our Club particularly close to my heart is the warm, welcoming and inclusive nature of our Training Centre. Throughout summer, school holidays and weekends throughout most of the year, you will find our junior and youth sailors making the most of their time on the water, learning to sail or continuing to progress through the more competitive off the beach stages of racing.

I wish you safe sailing and an enjoyable time while you are visiting SSCBC.

Commodore, Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club

As you will have heard in the media, Australia is currently experiencing unprecedented bush fires across many of our states. We would like to reassure competitors travelling to Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club for the RS:X World Windsurfing Championships next month that the bush fires are hundreds of kilometres away from where we are located on the southern tip of the Mornington Peninsula. The Club has been raising funds for those affected by the bush fires and will be contributing to the Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery fund. We look forward to hosting the RS:X World Windsurfing Championships next month and welcoming all competitors to Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club.

Regards,

Graham Cunningham
