Comet 30

Designed by the respected Van De Stadt/Group Finot partnership and built by Italian manufacturer Costruzioni Marittime Comar beginning in 1982, this 30-foot masthead sloop represents a thoughtful balance between performance and practicality. The collaboration between Dutch design expertise and Italian craftsmanship resulted in a fiberglass yacht that has earned recognition among sailors seeking a capable coastal cruiser with spirited sailing characteristics. The Comet 30's moderate displacement of 7,168 pounds, combined with a modern fin keel configuration drawing 5.2 feet, delivers responsive handling while maintaining reasonable stability for extended coastal passages. Her sail area of 371 square feet provides adequate power across varying wind conditions, while the masthead sloop rig offers straightforward sail handling—particularly appealing to couples or small crews. With a comfort ratio of 21.42, this yacht leans toward the performance end of the spectrum, offering lively motion that experienced sailors appreciate but newcomers should consider carefully. The capsize screening formula of 2.06 suggests good stability characteristics suitable for coastal cruising and occasional offshore passages in appropriate conditions. Her 6.29-knot hull speed indicates respectable passage-making ability, while the beam of 9.9 feet provides adequate interior volume for weekend cruising or short-term live-aboard arrangements.
