The Club 420 (C420) is a stable, easy-to-learn, double-handed sailboat that is perfect for beginners while still offering exciting performance features for sailors ready to advance. At 420 centimeters long, the C420 is an international race-class boat equipped with a mainsail and jib, with the option of adding a spinnaker and trapeze as sailors progress. Newer sailors will start by building confidence and fundamental boat-handling skills using the main and jib only. As students develop their skills and demonstrate readiness, they will have the opportunity to learn advanced features that this boat has to offer. This makes the C420 an ideal platform for both first-time sailors and experienced racers looking to refine their skills. C420 sessions alternate between Beginner and Intermediate/Advanced class offerings to help group sailors with similar skill levels together. Sailors with prior experience are still welcome to register for a Beginner session. Sailors with no prior sailing experience should register for a Beginner session. Spinnaker and trapeze experience is not required to enroll and will be introduced based on the sailor's ability and comfort level.
