  • The Legendary Couta Boat
    1 The Legendary Couta Boat Commercial fishing out of Port Phillip Bay, Victoria in the 1870s, one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the world, required a special sort of vessel…the “Couta” boat. Now over 100 years on, it is described as the quintessential recreational sailing vessel. “Couta” boats were named after the barracouta fish* , one of the key species sought after by fishermen at the time. Its origin designer, HR Murray was commissioned to design a seaworthy and commercially efficient boat for offshore fishing in all weather conditions. Typically, the boats would leave Port Phillip well before dawn, navigate the Rip and Bass Strait weather fill their quota and return as quickly as possible to the fish markets in Flinders Street Melbourne. The Couta Boat was originally 26’6”, clinker built, 10 foot beam with functional cockpits and weighing approximately 5 ton. It had a draft of 3’3 inches draft which increased to 8 ft when the centerboard was lowered. The sail area of 600sq feet was originally gaff rigged but later evolved into a gunter rig with the high peaked gaff enabling the sail to be carried higher. The trademark of the Couta boat is the long curved bowsprit that the jib sets on. These high set sails enabled the boats to sail close to the wind. Under this sailing rig and without the aid of electronic navigational equipment the fishermen had to navigate the notorious Port Phillip Bay, “Rip”, before heading into Bass Strait. The Rip, a 3.2 kilometre wide body of water connecting Bass Strait to Port Phillip Bay is still described as “the most treacherous stretch of water in Australia and amongst the most dangerous in the world”.

    June 1946 MEM. NAT. Mus. V1cT., 14, PT. 2, 1946. https://doi.org/10.24199/j.mmv.1946.14.06 THE SUNKLANDS OF PORT PHILLIP BAY AND BASS STRAIT By R. A. Keble, F.G.S., Palaeontologist, National Jiiiseurn of Victoria. Figs. 1-16. (Received for publication 18th l\fay, 1945) The floors of Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait were formerly portions of a continuous land surface joining Victoria with Tasmania. This land surface was drained by a river system of which the Riv-er Y arra was part, and was intersected by two orogenic ridges, the Bassian and King Island ridges, near its eastern and western margins respectively. \Vith progressive subsidence and eustatic adjustment, these ridges became land bridges and the main route for the migration of the flora and fauna. At present, their former trend is indicated by the chains of islands in Bass Strait and the shallower portions of the Strait. The history of the development of the River Yarra is largely that of the former land surface and the King Island land bridge, and is the main theme for this discussion. The Yarra River was developed, for the most part, during the Pleistocene or Ice Age. In Tasmania, there is direct evidence of the Ice Age in the form of U-shaped valleys, raised beaches, strandlines, and river terraces, but in Victoria the effects of glaciation are less apparent. A correlation of the Victorian with the Tasmanian deposits and land forms, and, incidentally, with the European and American, can only be obtained by ascertaining the conditions of sedimentation and accumulation of such deposits in Victoria, as can be seen at the surface1 or as have been revealed by bores, particularly those on the N epean Peninsula; by observing the succession of river terraces along the Maribyrnong River; and by reconstructing the floor of Port Phillip Bay, King Bay, and Bass Strait, and interpreting the submerged land forms revealed by the bathymetrical contours.

  • POST WAR PROGRESS and DRAMA in the RIP
    Chapter 10 POST WAR PROGRESS and DRAMA IN THE RIP With the unconditional surrender of Germany on 9 May 1945, the War in Europe came to an end. Then when the Americans dropped the first atom bomb on the large Japanese city of Hiroshima on August 6, followed 3 days later with the second one on the city of Nagasaki, Japan was also quick to surrender just 7 days later. At the Annual General Meeting of the Royal Geelong Yacht Club, held at the Club House on August 27, 1945 there were about 60 members in attendance with the Commodore, Mr. Wm. Smith in the chair. The adoption of the Annual Report, which revealed a very satisfactory financial situation, was moved by the Commodore. In seconding the motion, Mr. W.P. Heath congratulated Mr. Smith for the part he had played in the affairs of the Club and the Secretary and the Committee for the wonderful position the Club was now in. Mr. Heath also donated the sum of £25 towards the forthcoming Peace Regatta to be held in Melbourne on Foundation Day weekend. Mr. Jos. Glover also spoke at length on the Club's sound situation and congratulated the Chairman/Commodore. It was planned to have a dinner to welcome home those members who had served in the Armed Forces. The 87th season was opened by Commodore Smith on Saturday, November 17, 1945. Conditions were ideal with a steady north westerly breeze to send the yachts around on their manoeuvres. Twenty-five boats, including yachts, sailing dinghies and motor boats took part and being the first opening since the war, many of the members were still in service uniform.
