Comar Comet 38 Buyer's Guide
The Comar Comet 38 is a fiberglass cabin cruiser from Comar Yachts, designed by Groupe Finot and rigged as a sloop for cruising. At just under 12 meters overall with a 9.50-meter waterline and a 2.10-meter fixed keel, she is a straightforward mid-size cruiser rather than a shoal-draft coastal boat. The standard auxiliary is a 33 cv Lombardini LDW 1204 M.
Layouts on the Used Market
Three interior arrangements appear in the record. The standard version carries three cabins, one head, and ten berths. The owner version reduces this to two cabins, one head, and six berths for private use. The charter version keeps three cabins and adds a second head, with no berth figure listed. A buyer should decide early whether the extra cabins of the standard or charter layout, or the quieter two-cabin owner layout, fits the intended use.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
The only equipment item documented for the Comet 38 is the 33 cv Lombardini LDW 1204 M engine. Any buyer should treat navigation, canvas, and sail-handling gear as hull-specific and inspect each example on its own merits rather than assuming a common inventory.
What to Inspect
The published datasheet for the Comet 38 records zero ballast, zero water tank capacity, and zero diesel tank capacity, along with no individual mainsail, genoa, spinnaker, or mast-height figures anchor. On a specific hull, confirm with the seller what ballast the boat actually carries and whether tankage has been added or is absent, since the record shows none. Verify the mast and sail dimensions physically, as the source lists them as unrecorded. Check the Lombardini LDW 1204 M for service history, since the 33 cv rating is the only powertrain documented.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Before committing, a shopper should:
- Confirm actual ballast and tankage on the hull
- Measure mast and sail dimensions in person
- Review the Lombardini engine service records
- Choose between standard, owner, and charter layouts
