SAILORS Introduction to the 420
© Andrea Lelli
The 420 is an established worldwide performance two-person trapeze and spinnaker racing dinghy which holds status as a World Sailing International Class .
| International | 4.2 m | ||
| Centreboard Boat | 1.63 m | ||
| 2 | 6.26 m | ||
| 110 - 145 kg | 10.25m2 | ||
| Christian Maury | 2.8 m2 | ||
| France | 9.0 m2 | ||
| GRP | 100 kg | ||
| Single | 80 kg | ||
There are 56,000 boats which have been built worldwide. This popular dinghy is sailed at school, club, open, national and international levels. There are many second hand boats available, active clubs and excellent tuition for all levels.
Built in buoyancy tanks make the boat very safe even when inverted. The 420 is the youth development boat in 43 countries around the world. It is the equipment for the two-person dinghy boys and two-person dinghy girls events at the Youth Sailing World Championships , the pinnacle youth event in the world.
Despite the emergence of newer commercial driven classes and asymmetrics, the 420 is still the world's top youth training boat. A brand new 420 ready to sail costs approximately EUR5500 - 6000, making the boat an extremely affordable choice.
About 350 boats are built per year, with 1850 boats built over the past 5 years.
In 2020, the International 420 Class celebrated its 60th Anniversary.
The International 420 Class is recognised by World Sailing as an " World Sailing Learn to Sail Training Programme Recommended Boat ", which endorses its use by Member National Authorities for developing and teaching sailing in their nation. This status also endorses that the 420 is proven to have suitable availability to MNA's and also offers a supply structure to reduce costs to the MNA's and Learn to Sail Programme training centres.
All boats recognised by World Sailing have been independently assessed by World Sailing to be ideal for developing and/or teaching sailing within the World Sailing Learn to Sail programme; they also undergo safety assessments such as European CE marking or coastguard assessment.

Wanted Vanguard Club 420. I know this is a small boat for this site but I need some help to find a good source for a used one. Can anyone turn me on to a web site or club organization where there might be a few for sale. Thanks
Lots of Club 420s are used by college and high school sailing teams. They are often eager to upgrade their fleets, selling their old boats. Sometimes they can be pretty beat, but the price can be right. Look up colleges near you with sailing teams.
Colleges don''t use Club 420''s. That is, the 420''s they use don''t have a trap or spinnaker. They make a conversion kit you can buy though. Also, in my experiences most colleges use the boats until they''re used up. Try www.teamvanguard.com and go to the C-420 section, it''ll have a listing for used boats. If you need parts for it try www.battenpocket.com, I''ve found their prices to be the lowest(you''ll have to e-mail to get the prices).....good luck
i have one for sale with trailer for 2800 all rigging included with spinnaker trap and harnness

The Club 420, or C420, [5] is a derivative of the 420 and is not recognized by World Sailing or the International 420 Class Association. Designed by Vanguard boats in the 1970s, it has a heavier hull, reinforced for durability in institutional sailing, and a stiff, untapered mast.
A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.
