For Sale Comet Versa £2500

Fantastic, stable family dinghy

Comet Versa, the ultimate all-rounder..
Sail single handed or take the family, single sail plus jib or add a spinnaker.  Stable for beginners, rewarding for experts. Rows nicely and takes a small outboard.

The Comet Versa is an amazingly versatile dinghy, roomy enough for three adults yet can easily be sailed singlehanded.

Sailed with just the mainsail, the Versa is a very steady and extremely comfortable singlehander. Unfurl the jib and she becomes a great family dinghy with secure “sit in” seats, ideal for children. The ability to have oars, outboard motors and stowage lockers make the Versa great fun and great for single handlers, couples and families alike!

Versas are not being built at the moment .There is a high demand for used Versas and second hand boats rarely become available.”  This is an opportunity not to be missed!


Comet Trio 457 £5500

MK1 Comet Trio for sale in Exmouth, Devon.

Available with new (North Sails) MK2 main sail, spinnaker with chute, jib and mast. Mk1 rig also available as part of sale. Comes with top cover, launch trolley, road trolley and berth. Outboard motor mounting plate available on rear transom.


Comet Trio 317 £2900 with road trailer, £2000 with just a launching trolley.

Delivery available (45ppm within 100 miles of Frensham Pond SC) if the Trio is going to stay at a sailing club with no plans for moving it.

Full disclosure, I’m the webmaster for this site and it’s my Trio in this advert.

The hull has been extensively repaired, and the equipment upgraded from an ex-training boat to a Trio ready to dinghy cruise.

All these are new;  Launching Trolley, tiller, keel-band, slot gasket, jib cleats, jib sheets, LED lighting board, anchor, rope, (colour matched) toe straps, spare road wheel, spare trolley wheel, paddle, halyard rope, towing beam,
 
Second hand and good quality; Road base with recently renewed tyre, wheel, bearing and suspension units, tiller extension, main and jib, spinnaker, strong canvas anchor bag, boom up cover. If not buying the combi trailer, there is a separate second hand trolley.

Repaired; Thwarts strengthened and bonded properly to the hull, 17 major hull repairs made in epoxy and glass and then painted. Mast step repaired. Front hatch replaced with a box-backed hatch.

The hull had 17 major damage areas, most of which had not been repaired, so needed repairing which I have done in glass and epoxy. Since epoxy needs protecting from UV, the areas which have been repaired have been painted. It could be that you want to complete the paint job, and I deliberately painted just the repaired areas to minimise the rubbing down on the hull.


Rowsell Mainsail and Jib for sale £175

Cody SC have recently upgraded a main and jib from a single line of reefing to a double line of reefing to make the club dinghies more able to be sailed in high winds.

Cody SC has a mainsail with good shape and a jib with good shape for sale from club boat 467. It has not been sailed much, and not competitively and the sail shape is still good.

Trio Nationals 2021

Noble Marine Comet Trio National Championship at Exe Sailing Club

The Comet Trio National Championships (proud to be sponsored by Noble Marine Insurance) was held at the lovely Exe Sailing Club on 31st July – 1st August.

It was a good turnout with several visitors from Durleigh, Whitefriars, Cotswold and Hawley Lakes joining the local Exe boats.  Several new boats were making their debut nationals including Steve’s new white boat looking very pacey with a new MK1 North sails and Guy’s new boat with MK2 sails, both showed amazing speed with race wins throughout the event. Scarlett Lady also made a grand return with new owners and also new to the fleet Chris/Ben Biglin.

MK1 report

Saturday races were closely fought throughout fleet, with 3 different race winners including Richard Sallis/Carol Williams, Chris/Ben Biglin and Steve Ashford/Martin Yeomans. Closely followed by Symon/Lou Doliczny, Sue Morris/Debbie Woodcock, Jamie Gregor/Tim Farmer all with top 3 results, it was shaping up to be a close fought championships.

Sunday started in a light shifty easterly. Steve was seen up early studying the wind shifts and tidal patterns but a battle on the start line meant that both Steve and Richard were both OCS allowing Chris/Ben to get another 1st place. Anne/Mike Way had their best result finishing 2nd and Sam/Chris Mayne with a 3rd.

It came down to the final race to decide the MK1 championships and in a more steady 7 knots breeze, Richard/Carol won with Chris/Ben second Steve/Martin 3rd. These turned out to be the final overall results with 4th to Simon/Lou Doliczny and 5th to Jamie Grigor/Tim Farmer.

Comet Trio Mk1 Winners

MK2 report

Saturday racing was a tight affair with 4 different race winners – Ade/Tracie Padro, Bob/Colette Horlock, Guy Farrant and Graham Skyes, and Andrew/Caroline McAusland. It was all to play for on Sunday with only 1 point separating the top 3 boats.

Sunday saw a delay whilst the wind settled however the AP flag came down and we were able to launch in a light breeze.

With favourable pond like conditions, it was Ade/Tracie who led in first place around the last mark with a final run to the finish however the wind became lighter/shifty and the lead boats were becalmed for a few minutes while the wind filled back in. 1st to spot the new breeze were Guy/Graham who took full advantage and finished in 1st place, the battle for 2nd was between Andrew/Caroline and Ade/Tracie and Bob/Colette who had to settle for 4th following A port/starboard incident. This enabled Ade/Tracie could sneak through to 3rd place.

With one race remaining, Ade/Tracie, Andrew/Caroline and Guy/Graham were on equal points, this was going to be the closest finish of the championships. Ade/Tracie reached the first mark first and then spent the rest of the race in close coverage of Andrew/Caroline. Bob/Colette split from the top 2 in search of new wind shifts, however Ade/Tracie managed to hold off the fleet to win the event overall on count-back. Andrew/Caroline finishing 2nd, Guy/Graham in 3rd place, 4th went to Bob/Colette and 5th to Simon Gregory/Veronique Hart.

Huge thanks to Exe Sailing Club for putting on a terrific three days including sailing, BBQ, Trio dinner, cream teas and for all the help / support needed to run a successful championship.
