The COMET DUO

Duo DESIGN . . (The most versatile dinghy)
The Comet Duo is an extremely versatile dinghy, equally
suitable for racing, cruising and training. Roomy enough
for 3 adults or a small family yet light enough to be sailed
singlehanded.

Duo RACING . . (Great introduction to racing)

Comet Duo is the ideal dinghy to start club racing.
The fast hull shape and decent sail area give the potential
for excellent performance. And at 12' overall, the Duo is very
manouverable and responsive on the smaller lakes and
rivers, and offers interesting racing with other dinghies.

The standard Duo is absolutely ready to sail but options
of self bailers, adjustable jibsheet tracks and jib stick are
available for the keen racer. The new owner becomes a
member of the Class Association for the first year.
The association organises National Championships.

Duo FUN . . (Just the right size for one or three)
Great for family fun. A comfortable cockpit has all-round
internal seats providing secure seating for children.
A high boom and rear mainsheet keep the cockpit clear
and uncluttered. The Comet Duo comes as standard with
a slab reefing mainsail and jib furling gear which reduces
the sail area quickly and effectively for beginners
or heavy weather sailing.

The light weight & compact size of the Duo make her ideal
for the singlehanded sailor who prefers a drier and more
comfortable sail than the more usual single-handed
dinghy. Optional storage hatches, oar and outboard pad
help make the Duo great for cruising.

The Comet Duo Class Association Duo TRAINING . . (A well-proven traing boat)
Popular with sailing schools and youth groups the
Comet Duo has proven to be ideal for teaching.
The Duo's responsiveness in light winds encourages
the be-ginner and the reefing mainsail keeps them sailing
when the wind picks up. The Duo layout with the 'sit in
seats' give the sailor a great sense of security and at
12', the size of the dinghy isn't at all intimidating.
All the spars, rigging and fittings are tough, durable
and certainly strong enough for sailing school life.

Duo QUALITY . . (Thoughtful design - high specification)
Built to the highest standard in GRP, the Comet Duo's quality
and high specification make the dinghy one of the best for value
for money. Well proven in the sailing school environment, the
Duo will give years of trouble free service to its owner, also
and retain a high resale value.
