The Comet 7.70 is a relatively little-known yacht in the UK, but was popular in the 1970s on the Continent. She combines a very fast hull (probably designed to race under Quarter Ton Cup rules when first built), with a very attractive and spacious interior, with a lot of careful design features. Although a five berth boat, she would be better cruised with two or three.
The design is in many ways similar to (though perhaps more stylish than) the Ecume de Mer from the same Finot design office. |
