Everything you'll need to know to get started
The World’s Top Youth Boat - Why Join Us?
The 420 offers great development for sailors in the two-person disciplines - most of the Worlds's top sailors sailors sailed in this class and easily moved on to succeed in other classes, and enjoy Olympic and big boat careers.
We have a fantastic pedigree of developing world class sailors; in 2019 Via Heathcote & Millie Boyle were crowned Ladies 420 World Champions!
Our aim is to provide accessible regional training and racing throughout the UK. The spirit in which races and events are held is almost as important as the rules to which we race. The Class has chosen to adopt the RYA Racing Charter as a fundamental policy on how it wishes to see the spirit of racing within the sport. .
Not only are we the best choice for youth sailors we are:
- International Class - sailed Worldwide
- Ideal progression from any Junior Class
- RYA Pathway Class
- RYA Transition and Youth Class Support
- Strong sailor based Class Association
- Full UK and International Racing Programme
- Challenging to sail well but easy to learn
- Nationwide Fleets
Many amazing sailors have sailed a 420!
