The Comet Duo Class Association . .
was founded in 1993 to represent the interests of all Comet Duo
owners.
Over the seventeen years of its existence members of the
Association enjoyed
a wide and varied programme of events all of which
were characterised by the
friendly & social atmosphere seen both on
the water and after sailing has finished
for the day. Much of the time
we have been together with other Comet dinghy
classes and are grateful
for the support that they, as well as Andy Simmons
of Comet Dinghies
have given us.
Cruising has taken us as far north as Lake Windermere, to
Herne Bay in the east,
Chichester Harbour in the south and Falmouth in
the west and other places in
between. With two championship events each
year, racing has taken place on
the sea and at inland venues such as
the Portland & Weymouth Sailing Academy,
the proposed sailing venue
included in the UK's Olympic bid.
Our class magazine the Duologue was produced annually, and
described
our activities over the previous season, and a program of
events for the coming
season. The class association ran a number of
events each year, both racing
and cruising, which were well supported
by Comet Duo owners.
To ensure a long term future of an Association for Duo
owners, in 2010 it was
decided to amalgamate with the Comet Combined
Class and we encourage
as many Duo owners as possible to become
members. If this is you, or you
know of any Duo owners, perhaps at your
club, who are not yet members
of the Association please tell them about
us and ask them to join.
If you require any further information please do not
hesitate to contact our
Association
Secretary whose contact details can be found
