International 420

The 420 is an established worldwide performance two person trapeze and spinnaker racing dinghy.
There are 56,000 worldwide and this popular dinghy is sailed at school, club, open, national and international 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 and is the ISAF Youth World Championship boat. Despite the emergence of newer commercial driven classes and asymmetrics, the 420 is still the world's top youth training boat.

The ideal competitive combined crew weight is 17 to 23 stone (110-145Kg).  At BSYC youth sailors graduate to a 420 from a 303 or cadet, having probably kicked off their sailing career in a holdy.

Current World Champions:  Open, Antonios Tsimpoukelis and George Karonis (Greece)
Current National Champions: Justin Liu and Sherman Cheng (Singapore)
Current State Champions: Luke Stephens and Douglas Flaherty (ASC)
