USED SPECIAL – Comet 41S, a great Italian success story

Competitive on the race courses, this 12-and-a-half-footer also features a sleek aesthetic and comfortable cruising interior. The hull has fairly rounded center sections, with significant maximum beam and very thin entrances. At the engine, the submerged volumes are filled with a “bustle” that, by raising the value of the prismatic coefficient, makes it possible to maintain a proper buoyancy even with the embarked weights at cruise.

Equipped with a high righting coefficient, the Comet 41 S is capable of carrying as much as 108 sq. m. of canvas: relative to displacement, it is one of the best-sailed boats in its class. Three bulb options are provided, two with a boot and different draft (2.20 meters the standard one and 2.45 in the regatta version) and an “open” one with torpedo. The sword rudder is narrow and highly elongated and, partly due to the 10° compensation, provides sensitivity and lightness even at high heeling angles.

COVER

Dome-shaped deckhouse fully lined with anti-skid, extra-wide walkways, cockpit more than 3 meters long and open at the back-three elements that result in completely livable spaces. As well as one of the most attractive aesthetics, the result of rounded shapes and extremely clean surfaces. The benches provide six comfortable seats, while further aft the side seats provide a good view for the helmsman.

INTERIOR

Although equipped with a huge cockpit and a sharp bow, the Comet 41 S has good interior volumes especially at the height of the saloon that is as airy as that of a pure cruiser. The linearly developed kitchen is equipped with numerous storage cabinets and large worktops. The C-shaped sofa comfortably accommodates six people inside. Good habitability of the three double cabins present.
