I am looking to buy a new or used, well-built, lightweight, in good condition wooden 16' comet with aluminum mast. Where do I start?

I watched a commercial displaying new, modern design Comets, both racers and cruisers. The advertisement
Indicated Comar as the parent company.
Where can I buy one of these beautiful boats?

We owned a Clinton? built comet in the years from 1947 -1955 #1661 I don't find much about that builder. I sailed in Columbia Lake, Connecticut weekly races.

Do you know the age of a Comet 1732? I have one that was donated to the sea scouts in our area. I am trying to track down the year it was built? Where should I check for this type of information?
