New exciting variation of the Comet uses a 6 sq m Mylar Sail on a 570mm shorter mast. The sail has battens and a zipper on a sleeve luff allowing the sail to be raised on a halyard. The shorter mast and smaller but more efficient sail make the Xtra easier for lighter crews.
As the overall performance of the new Xtra is expected to be very similar to a conventional Comet, Xtras can now race alongside Comets at Open Meetings.
A centre mainsheet is now available as an option on all the singlehander Comets.
