Peak Dinghy with Glyn Rawson exhibited the brand new Comet Trio No. 500 at Ally Palace 5th -6th March 2016

Considerable interest was shown in the new boat.

The Trio is must sought after as a very viable alternative to the Wayfarer being considerably lighter with a quicker performance.

Club racers have recorded very favourable results, with the advantage of the genniker which is flatter cut than other gennikers enabling a stunning performance on close 3 sail reaches.

There are two genniker options available either launched from a bag or there is now a chute version available also giving older boats the option of upgrading .

There are no second hand Trios available at the moment but when they come on the market they are snapped up fairly quickly.

Clubs where Trios are based.

Exe SC

Shustoke SC

Cotswold SC

Whitefriars SC

Ogston SC

Hawley Lakes SC

There are dozens more of Trio clubs. Let me know if you want your club to be added to the list email Steve Ashford
