COMET CLASS ASSOCIATION

The fun-to-sail Comet offers high-level, double-handed racing to all ages with equally competitive fiberglass and wooden boats. The design combines a hard chine planing hull with a classic sloop rig and a distinctively large mainsail. The result is a boat that can plane downwind and on a reach in just 10 to 12 knots of wind, yet remains stable upwind. The Comet makes an ideal boat for husband and wife or parent and child teams, is easily trailered, rigged and launched. It is also one of the most affordable one-designs in its class... The boat carries a crew of two for racing, making it ideal for husband and wife or parent and child teams, yet it can hold three adults for pleasure sailing. The boat is easily trailered, rigged and launched. Even more importantly, the Comet is one of the most affordable one-designs in its class, with fully equipped and competitive used boats available from $1000 to $2,500.
