Built by Italian manufacturer Comar Yachts from 1971 to 1987, the Comet 910 represents a collaboration between renowned naval architects Van De Stadt and Finot, resulting in a well-balanced 30-footer that found favor among European sailors. With 491 hulls produced over its 16-year production run, this masthead sloop established itself as a capable coastal cruiser and club racer. The design showcases classic early-1970s proportions with a moderate beam of 10.04 feet and substantial displacement of 8,200 pounds, creating a seakindly motion that appeals to cruising sailors. The fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration provides good directional stability while maintaining reasonable performance under sail. Her fiberglass construction has proven durable, with many examples still actively sailing European waters today. At 29.86 feet overall with a 22-foot waterline, the Comet 910 offers a practical size for coastal exploration and weekend cruising. The sail area of 395 square feet provides adequate power for her displacement, while the hull speed of 6.29 knots reflects her cruising-oriented nature. The low comfort ratio of 24.1 and capsize screening value of 1.99 indicate good stability characteristics, making this design suitable for experienced sailors venturing into offshore conditions while remaining manageable for coastal sailing.
