Wow, great stories thanks! Our Dad took us kids out in his couta boat during the 70's & 80's. Loved every minute of it. Such a sturdy vessel. Huon pine is incredible wood! My father started to build a couta boat during the tate 70's, it was beyond him & he sold it half way through the project.. well done to you! 🐠⚓️💧
Memories - I spent many hours playing in derelict coota boats with other kids (pretending to be pirates) in an old shed at the back of our block, across the road from Hutchies Jetty. It was back in the late 1960’s / early 1970’s. Who’d have believed these boats would be turned back to life thanks to the efforts of Marcus, Tim and others in re-creating a living history on the bay.

The Course Boat is a weapon but very classic. I remember sailing one and J24s were match racing and I blew them off the water.
Completely agree!
Brilliant
Pushed it in the water with the paint still wet. Ha ha ha.
I want one with an ice maker and a barbecue.
I don't care what he says those are aegen style boat which are still build for 3000 years
