Welcome

Welcome to the Comet Combined Class Association (CCCA) website.

The CCCA is a friendly organisation that exists to promote and further the interests of the owners of the 4 double handed classes of dinghy originally produced by Comet Dinghies, namely the Trio, Duo, Versa and Zero.


For members of the CCCA there is a dinghy cruising weekend in Poole Harbour planned for Saturday September 26th and Sunday 27th. It’s an Open Meeting with the objective of collegiate adventuring.

CCCA Online Forum where technical help for Comet owners can be asked, and hopefully we’ll be able to provide the answer.

If you were looking for info about the Comet dinghy, they are at the Comet Class Association.
