Cruising-racing sailboat COMET 41 S

2-cabin3-cabinwith bowsprit

The biggest challenge with this model was to pack the substantial appeal of its bigger sisters, the 51 S and 45 S, into just 12 metres. This meant long hours at the drawing board and computer not to mention the construction of numerous 1:10 scale models as we strove to strike just the right balance between hull and coachroof. The 41 S has the beautifully unforced, performance-oriented forms we’ve come to expect from the Comar Sport series: fine bow sections and vertical overhangs, designed to develop the waterline to the utmost and make the hull soft on the waves. Although never interfering with the finely wrought proportions of the hull, the deckhouse design delivers excellent interior liveability, even allowing a choice of solutions that goes right up to three cabins and two heads. The very nippy Comet 41 S is surprising responsive and docile to wheel too, thanks to the good hull balance and rudder’s efficiency.
