Comet Dinghy

Comet is a single handed, light, easily transportable and launchable by one person. It requires low maintenance and offers challenging performance but most of all is ONE DESIGN. The Comet is fast but surprisingly forgiving. Plenty of sail area for exciting sailing and amazing light wind performance but easily reefed for beginners. Extremely comfortable to sail with a roomy cockpit. Comets have a full programme of open meetings with large fleets at various clubs.

The Comets two piece mast and lightweight hull enable easy car topping. Quick and simple to rig for maximum time on the water. The Comet unashamedly has a rear mainsheet and deep cockpit floor rather than a fashionable centre mainsheet and self draining cockpit as used on the latest mass-produced singlehanders. The rear mainsheet really does make the Comet roomy enough for two, and the deep cockpit does wonders for comfort. Even after a capsize, the small amount of water onboard soon disappears down the self-bailer!
