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.
