since almost 20 years some of the most successful sailing federations, event organizers and sailing teams worldwide trust in the support of coachboat.com

our service includes rib charter, shorterm and longterm van rentals, dinghy rental and full logistic support.

who we are

Sail Support Service was founded in 2006 by Arthur Thueringer, an ex 470 dinghy sailor and sail coach with the target to make the life of coaches and sailing federations easier by providing professional rib rental services to them.

While in the first years the supply of high quality VSR Ribs for oversea nations in Europe was the main field of activity, from 2009 on the service was expanded already in the Middle East, Australia and America during European winter season.
