About the COMET 1050
Development of COMET 1000.
The Comet 1050 is a 33.33 ft masthead sloop designed by Groupe Finot and built by Costruzioni Marittime Comar (ITA) in 1983. With a displacement of 11023.0 lb and a beam of 11.0 ft, this vessel represents a specific era of Italian construction with a single-year production run.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable, stable platform with a moderate comfort ratio of 23.44. Its dimensions and rigging make it manageable for couples or small families seeking a manageable 33-footer.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.98 and a D/L ratio of 217.12, the Comet 1050 is primarily suited for coastal cruising rather than extended bluewater passages. Its fin keel and moderate displacement suggest stability in moderate conditions but limited heavy-weather endurance compared to heavier displacement designs.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other early 1980s European 33-footers with similar displacement and fin keels, such as the Beneteau First 33 or O'Day 33. These models share similar LOA and LWL dimensions, offering a balance of performance and comfort.
