About the COMET 460
Based on the COMET 13 hull.
The Comet 460 is a robust cruising sloop designed by Groupe Finot and built by Comar (ITA) between 1987 and 1993, with a total production of 122 hulls. Its substantial displacement of 25353.0 lb and comfort ratio of 33.38 indicate a vessel engineered for stability and seakworthiness rather than high-speed planing.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize a comfortable, stable ride and ample interior volume over racing performance. Its heavy displacement and fin keel configuration make it particularly appealing to those seeking a secure platform for extended passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.7 and a displacement-to-length ratio of 202.25, the Comet 460 demonstrates strong inherent stability and resistance to capsizing, supporting its reputation as a capable bluewater cruiser.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels from this era include the Beneteau 46 and the Hallberg-Rassy 46, as they share similar displacement ranges and cruising-oriented designs. These boats offer similar interior layouts and offshore capabilities, making them direct competitors in the mid-1980s to early-1990s market.
