Most Participation of Any Doublehanded Class Boat

The C420 has the distinction of having the largest participation of any doublehanded class in the world. There are more regattas with more boats on the line than any other boat with the exception of the Optimist dinghy and the Laser.

Durable Enough for Youth Training and Racing

The C420 is a durable youth trainer/racer that includes both a spinnaker and trapeze. She was originally developed for collegiate sailing, but was adopted by club sailing to fill a need for robust boats that could be handled by junior sailors.

One Design Team Racing

The C420 has strong one design class that provides level racing with hundreds of regattas and clinics every year. The Class follows the box one design principle - so its not the boat, but the crew who wins the race!
