About the COMET 33
The Comet 33 is a fractional sloop designed by Sergio Lupoli and built by Comar Yachts, with production records indicating a build year of 2003. As the build count is unspecified in the authoritative data, this model represents a specific iteration within the Comar lineup, characterized by a displacement of 9039.0 lb and a beam of 10.79 ft.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a comfortable motion, evidenced by a comfort ratio of 17.82, over high-performance racing metrics.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.08 and a displacement of 9039.0 lb, the Comet 33 offers moderate offshore stability, though its relatively low ballast ratio suggests it is better suited for protected coastal waters than heavy bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Beneteau First 33 and the Bavaria 33, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and displacement ranges, though the Comet 33 distinguishes itself with a slightly narrower beam and specific Italian design lineage.
