Duo
DESIGN . . (The most versatile dinghy)
Comet Duo is an extremely versatile dinghy,
equally suitable for racing, cruising & training.
Roomy enough for 3 adults or a small family
yet light enough to be sailed singlehanded. |

Duo
RACING . . (Great introduction to racing)
Comet Duo is the ideal dinghy to start club racing.
The fast hull shape and decent sail area give the
potential for excellent performance. At 12' overall,
the Duo is very manouverable and responsive on
the smaller lakes & rivers, and offers interesting
racing with other dinghies. The standard Duo is
absolutely ready to sail but options of self bailers,
adjustable jibsheet tracks and jib stick are available
for the keen racer. The new owner becomes a
member of the Class Association for the first year.
The association organises National Championships.

Duo
FUN . . (Just the right size for one
or three)
Great for family fun. A comfortable cockpit has all
round internal seats providing secure seating for
children. A high boom and rear mainsheet keep the
cockpit clear & uncluttered. The Comet Duo comes
as standard with a slab reefing mainsail & jib furling
gear which reduces the sail area quickly & effectively
for beginners or heavy weather sailing.
The light weight and compact size of the Duo make
her ideal for the singlehanded sailor who prefers a
drier and more comfortable sail than the more usual
singlehanded dinghy. Optional storage hatches, oar
& outboard pad help make the Duo great for cruising.

TRAINING . . (A well-proven traing
boat)
Popular with sailing schools & youth groups Comet
Duo has proven to be ideal for teaching. The Duo's
responsiveness in light winds encourages the be-
ginner and the reefing mainsail keeps them sailing
when the wind picks up. The Duo layout with the 'sit
in seats' give the sailor a great sense of security and
at 12', the size of the dinghy isn't at all intimidating.
All the spars, rigging & fittings are tough, durable
and certainly strong enough for sailing school life.

Duo QUALITY . .
(Thoughtful design - high specification)
Built to the highest standard in GRP, the Comet
Duo's
quality and high specification make the dinghy one of
the best for value for money. Well proven in the sailing
school environment, the Duo will give years of trouble
free servive to its owner and retain a high resale value.
