2001 Comet 54 DH

Step into the raised deckhouse and you immediately get that “all-weather passage maker” feel: excellent sightlines from the inside helm, a protected watch-keeping position, and plenty of natural light flooding the saloon. On deck, the Comet 54 DH shows its Vallicelli DNA with a powerful sail plan, clean side decks, and hardware laid out so a small crew can manage her with confidence. The deep, secure cockpit keeps everyone comfortable offshore, while wide swim access aft makes life at anchor easy. Storage is generous throughout, from cockpit lockers to cleverly used spaces below, so longer trips don’t feel like a compromise. Under sail, she’s known to track beautifully and eat up miles without drama.

The Comet 54 DH is especially well suited to the mixed conditions common in this cruising area. The deckhouse layout lets you keep watch in comfort when the weather turns, yet still feel connected to the sea and sails. Her length and hull shape deliver a reassuring, seakindly motion in a chop, while the powerful rig makes the most of lighter afternoon breezes. Four cabins and three heads mean friends or family have real privacy on extended cruises along the coast or between islands. With a substantial auxiliary engine and solid tankage, she’s equally capable of slipping into quiet anchorages or pushing through a contrary tide when timing matters.
