Comar Comet 51S Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Comar Comet 51S means looking at a 15.40-meter Vallicelli-designed fiberglass sloop built by Comar Yachts as a cruising and regatta yacht. The standard boat sleeps eight in three cabins, while the charter version takes ten in four cabins, and used Comar Comet 51Ss reflect both arrangements.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available, and ex-charter examples are common. The standard version's three cabins and two heads suit private cruising, while the four-cabin charter layout trades owner privacy for maximum berths. Buyers should decide early whether a former charter boat's higher wear is acceptable for the extra capacity.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Electric winches and teak decks are commonly fitted, easing deck work and giving a traditional look underfoot. Air conditioning, code zero, spinnaker, asymmetric spinnaker, and autopilot are often seen, supporting warm-climate comfort and versatile downwind sailing. Less common but present as owner upgrades are heating, inverter, gennaker, hot water, and chartplotter. For a buyer, the meaningful clusters are power and energy — inverter and heating where fitted — and sail-handling flexibility from the code zero and asymmetric spinnaker often carried.
What to Inspect
The Comet 51S carries a Yanmar 100 cv engine with S-drive anchor as the standard auxiliary, so verify the drive leg condition and engine service history closely. Beyond that, confirm the fiberglass hull, fixed 2.90-meter keel, and the 13,000 kg displacement structure; normal fiberglass and keel-bolt practice applies.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The typical market for these yachts is Italy. A buyer's short checklist: confirm whether the layout is owner three-cabin or charter four-cabin; check for teak deck condition and electric winch function; verify the S-drive and Yanmar service; assess whether charter history is acceptable if an ex-charter boat is offered.
