The Club 420 enables young sailors to learn teamwork, trapeze and spinnaker techniques that simply can't be learned in single-handed boats. Safe for beginning sailors and quick enough to keep collegiate All-Americans interested, sailors graduating from the Optimist class will find the C420 to be manageable and a lot of fun.
About the boat
Twenty years ago we developed the Club 420 in response to the growing need for a more durable, high-performance, double-handed racing dinghy that could stand up to the rigors of club and collegiate programs. Ideal for crews ranging in size from 220-300 lbs., the Club 420 is manageable for sailors comingout of the Optimist class and enables young sailors to learn teamwork, trapeze and spinnaker techniques.The Club 420 is simple and safe for beginning sailors and yet challenging enough for collegiate champions.The Club 420 offers more learning opportunities than any other double-handed boat you can find. The Club 420 Class Association promotes events on the local, regional, and national levels in North America. LaserPerformance has sold more than 2000 Club 420’s to junior programs around the nation, and over 200 high schools and colleges maintain fleets as well. The racing and learning will only improve as more clubs standardize to the Club 420 and participation grows at every level. LaserPerformance is dedicated to building the Club 420 and we will work with you to help your school or club build and maintain your fleet.
