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.

Notice of Intention to Dinghy Cruise


CCCA Online Forum where technical help for Comet owners can be asked, and hopefully we’ll be able to provide the answer.

If you were looking for info about the Comet dinghy, they are at the Comet Class Association.

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.

Future Events

The next event on the calendar is the CometFest at Cotswold SC on the 13/14 June. Poppy and Jane are working hard to get the details published so keep an eye out on the CCCA Facebook page. This event incorporates the Versa Inland Championships so all you Versa sailors out there, this is your event! Of course the Trios, Duos and Zeros are all welcome too and the more the merrier, at the last count there at least 8 Trios planning to come. Loads of good camping for camping for tents, caravans, camper vans and motor homes. Fresh water, showers and toilets in clubhouse.  Portapoti disposal and fresh water tap by main gate.   There’s a meal planned for Saturday night and refreshments during the day.    Plenty of takeaways and pubs locally. It all sounds like a lot of fun so do make the effort to come.

Following that the Trio Nationals are at Exe SC on the 7, 8, 9 Aug. NoR and SIs are on the Exe SC website and entries are now open.

The last event of the season is a cruising event at Poole YC on 26/27 Sep. We do hope that those of you who don’t race (and perhaps some that do) will take the opportunity to join Cody SC members in cruising the beautiful waters of Poole Harbour.
