About the COMET 15
A development of the COMET 14.
The Comet 15 is a rare, high-performance cruising yacht designed by Groupe Finot/Fauroux and built by Comar (ITA) between 1984 and 1987. With only 14 hulls constructed, this limited-production vessel offers a unique blend of speed and comfort, characterized by its 47.9 ft LOA and 29762.0 lb displacement.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal cruisers and short-handed sailors who prioritize performance and handling over extreme bluewater isolation, given its moderate comfort ratio of 31.62 and fin keel configuration.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.82 and a displacement of 29762.0 lb, the Comet 15 is capable of offshore passages, though its fin keel and relatively low comfort ratio suggest it is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than heavy ocean swells.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the First 47.3 and Beneteau First 46, as they share similar production eras, masthead sloop rigs, and a focus on performance-oriented cruising with comparable beam and displacement characteristics.
