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.
A CLASSIC COMET WITH NEW INNOVATIONS
Other boats have come and gone but in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio and Bermuda the Comet is still going strong. It is the most successful, active, two-person racing class in our area today.
