420 UK National Championships

The International 420 is the natural progression from the junior racing classes, such as the Optimist and Cadet. Young sailors moving up, or those new to racing, will
find the rig easy to master. On the water, the 420 planes easily, yet the hull shape gives a measure of stability. Should a capsize occur, the 420 is easy to right and comes up with little water in it. The controls allow for a variety of crew weights to get maximum speed on the water, as well as enabling sailing in higher wind strengths and in choppy sea states.

The 420 is a proven transition class which provides sailors with excellent skills in strategy, tactics, boat handling, tuning and technique. Expect 40 boats to enter championships
