The Comet 850, launched in 1977 by the Italian shipyard then known as Sipla (now Comar Yachts), represents a quintessential era of European yacht design where performanceoriented hulls began to embrace Mediterranean cruising comforts. Designed by the esteemed Groupe Finot, the 850 followed the revolutionary footsteps of the Comet 910, aiming to provide a slightly more compact, accessible platform that did not sacrifice the "cruiserracer" spirit defining the brand. With approximately 300 units produced until 1984, the Comet 850 solidified Comar’s reputation for building fiberglass hulls that were both structurally reliable and aesthetically modern, featuring the characteristic "wedged" coachroof profile that became a hallmark of Finot’s Italian collaborations.
