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.


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.

We support CCCA Members by:

  2. Co-ordinating the programme for other Open Meetings and cruising events for the Classes in the British Isles.
  3. Promulgating information on technical development within the Classes.
  4. Keeping members informed of developments concerning the Classes and any proposals concerning class rules.
  5. Maintaining a register of CCCA members, and regularly communicating with them.

Membership of the CCCA is free to all current owners (or a soon-to-be owner) of the classes that we cover.

Please look at the News and Events tabs to see what is currently happening or look at our Facebook page.

For descriptions of the dinghies and associated technical information look under the Classes tab.

Comet Duo Worlds and CCCA Cruise at Poole

Last weekend saw the final 2 events on the CCCA calendar, the Comet Duo Worlds at Cransley and the CCCA Cruise at Poole Harbour. The Duo Worlds sounds as if it was a great fun event with 12 boats taking part, mixing racing with off water entertainment. Competitors spanned a wide age range and represented a variety of nationalities. I urge you to read the event report on Yachts and Yachting https://www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/300256/Comet-Duo-Worlds-and-Nationals-at-Cransley to get a true flavour of the event!

The CCCA Cruise was perhaps the first Open Weekend for dinghy cruising! It was held at Poole Yacht Club and was attended by Steve and Mel
in a Comet Trio and Nick G in his Versa. Boats were sailed on both days and on Sunday a good distance was covered around Poole Harbour in a stiff breeze with 2 landing sites visited. For Steve’s full report please see Poole Cruise
