Comar Comet 333 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used market for a Comar Comet 333 means looking at a Vallicelli-designed Three Quarter Tonner of 9.13 meters and 3.15 meters beam, a boat chosen for the maiden running of the Giro d'Italia a Vela in 1989 anchor and known from the original design as a complete-furnished racer-cruiser. Italian listings dominate the available pool, and the boat's dual-purpose nature makes it attractive to buyers who want both club racing and weekend cruising without a larger hull.
Layouts on the Used Market
The 333 comes from the original design with complete furnishings intact, so buyers should expect a finished interior rather than a bare shell. Its 9.13-meter length and 3.15-meter beam place it firmly in the small Three Quarter Tonner class — compact, but the beam supports a usable cabin plan. Because the furnishings are original to the design, layout variation between boats should be minimal compared with owner-completed contemporaries.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the Italian used market the 333 commonly carries an autopilot, chartplotter, radar, and air conditioning, with heating also frequently fitted for shoulder-season sailing. Sail-handling and deck gear typically include a spinnaker and a swim platform with cockpit shower, supporting both racing and Mediterranean cruising. A buyer should verify that the electronics are integrated and that the spinnaker gear remains serviceable, since these are the items that most affect day-to-day use.
What to Inspect
The Comet 333 was picked for the 1989 inaugural Giro d'Italia a Vela anchor and its original design included complete furnishings anchor. A buyer should confirm the original furnishings are present and unmodified, as the boat's cruiser value rests on that completeness. Beyond that, standard pre-purchase survey of a 1988-era Vallicelli composite hull applies.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The Comet 333 is typically found in Italy, reflecting its origin and domestic racing history. For a shopper, the takeaway is straightforward: seek a boat with intact original furnishings, confirm the commonly fitted electronics and spinnaker gear, and treat the 333 as a compact dual-purpose Italian design with real regatta pedigree.
