Vanguard Club 420
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 of 220-310 lbs., the Club 420 is manageable for sailors to learn teamwork, trapeze and spinnaker techniques. The Club 420 is simple and safe for beginning sailors and yet challenging enough for collegiate All-Americans. 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. Vanguard 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. Vanguard Sailboats is dedicated to building the Club 420 and we will work with you to help your school or club build and maintain your fleet.
