Welcome

Welcome to the Comet Combined Class Association (CCCA) website.

The CCCA is a friendly organisation that exists to promote and further the interests of the owners of the 4 double handed classes of dinghy originally produced by Comet Dinghies, namely the Trio, Duo, Versa and Zero.


For members of the CCCA there is a dinghy cruising weekend in Poole Harbour planned for Saturday September 26th and Sunday 27th. It’s an Open Meeting with the objective of collegiate adventuring.

We support CCCA Members by:

  1. Organising the National and Inland Championships as required.
  2. Co-ordinating the programme for other Open Meetings and cruising events for the Classes in the British Isles.
  3. Promulgating information on technical development within the Classes.
  4. Keeping members informed of developments concerning the Classes and any proposals concerning class rules.
  5. Maintaining a register of CCCA members, and regularly communicating with them.

Membership of the CCCA is free to all current owners (or a soon-to-be owner) of the classes that we cover.

Comet Trio Inland Championships Llangorse 16-17 May 26

The Trio Inland Championships will be held at Llangorse SC on 16/17 May 26. Please see the Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions. We have enjoyed many excellent events at Llangorse and they are looking forward to sailing both their privately owned Trios and their club Trios at the event. CCCA members have kindly offered to bring spare sets of Mk1 sails for the Llangorse club boats so that the whole fleet will be sailing with Mk1 rigs which should make for a great event. The Kestrel class will be joining us on the water for an open event and on the Saturday evening the club are putting on a 2 course fixed meal and glass of wine at the club for only £15 per head.  I do hope that if you are taking part in the event then you will all will join us for the evening social. Additional drinks may be bought in by yourselves as Llangorse have no bar facility to compete with. Additionally free tea and coffee will be available for competitors over the weekend.  This promises to be an excellent event so please if you can come do so!
