Comar Comet 41S for sale in Hamble-le-Rice United Kingdom

The Comet 41S is a fine-lined and rather racy looking Italian Racing Cruiser - a very different concept to a cruiser that races. Batfish V was aquired by the current owners in 2011 and quickly became their favourite yacht as they scaled down round-the-cans and offshore racing to become fast cruisers. They are now looking for a grown-up cruising yacht for family and dog! The boat has been professionally maintained in Hamble with regular mast and fitting inspections and removals. The original Lombardini engine was replaced with a Volvo in 2019 - 300 hours. Saildrive replaced in 2022. It features new plotter, autohelm and 2023 new luxury mattress in owners cabin. It is fitted for both symetric and assymetric spinnakers with Carbon Pole and detachable bowsprit. It remains fast and competitive on the race course. The only aspect in need of replacement is the old TackTic instruments (still work fine). Sails include 2 furling genoas, 2 mains, 2 asymetrics (including indestructible A4) and single S1 symetric. It has three full size double cabins and a surprising amount of stowage for mid-sized cruiser. Two heads including on-suite fwd. Galley is length of main cabin with table seating for 8. Stowage under seats. The current oven is not included in the sale, but would be available seperately - will be replaced with new oven. The boat will come with full kit of engine spares. The cockpit on Comets is a design triumph - very comfortable and well considered ergonomics. It includes 2 large lazarettes port and starboard, tailbags, plus a very large stern locker for liferaft and gear. Traveler runs across in front of large wheel. All lines lead to coachroof (except the Slypig (*Cunningham)) where there are 2 halyard winches (one electric). 2 Jib WInches. 2 German Main Sheet Primaries. Blocks for Spinnakers. Carbon Rudder and Stock, 2.2mm Racing Keel. The boat will suit club racers wanting to step up from a smaller yacht who want to race fast, but cruise long-leggeded in comfortable style and elegance. Its comparable to a J-Boat, Grand Soliel, or a light-weight X. Its a step up from a First 40 or 40.7. The yacht is moored in Hamble and views can be arranged via the owners email.
