Comet 910 Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The Comet 910 stands as the definitive vessel that transformed Comar Yachts—then operating as Sipla—from a small-scale builder of fiberglass dinghies into a premier European shipyard. Launched in 1971, the 910 was the product of an unlikely but brilliant collaboration between the established Dutch master Van de Stadt and the innovative French designer Jean-Marie Finot of Groupe Finot. This partnership resulted in a boat that challenged the design conventions of the early 1970s, prioritizing a generous beam and a sophisticated hull form that offered both competitive racing speed and surprising interior volume. With a production run spanning over fifteen years and nearly 1,000 units produced, the Comet 910 became one of Italy’s most successful series-built yachts, earning a reputation as a "giant killer" on the IOR racing circuit while remaining accessible enough for family coastal cruising.
