Twenty years ago Vanguard 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
lbs-310 lbs. Perfect for sailors
coming out of the Optimist class and enables young sailors to learn
teamwork, trapeze, and spinnaker techniques. The stable, forgiving hull
is built tough with reinforced fiberglass, high impact bumpers, and
a simple, untapered rig. The Club 420 is simple and safe for beginning
sailors and yet quick enough to keep collegiate All-Americans interested.
