The famous workboats of Australia – the Couta boats – are featured in the current (CS12) issue of Classic Sailor with a good argument as to why they make the perfect daysailers. As a good example of how seriously the Ozzies take their sailing we feature their prime minister Malcolm Turnbull at the helm of Rob Roy, a 90 year old Couta.
Imagine how different we’d feel about politics if Theresa May happened to own and race an East coast smack?!
