Talk:420 (dinghy)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It should be pointed out that the I420 is not a competitive in anything less than a force 3 with PY handicap with ideal weight crew at club racing level.
Also it does not get the full benefit of it's handicap until seriously high winds of the type most race officers will get very nervous about sending a mixed fleet out in.
Not a good PY handicap club boat. However at force 4+ the 420 is a blast and comes highly recommended.
For fleet or team sailing it's a great boat and a fantastic learing boat for perfomance symmetric one designs but in club handicap racing you'll spend most of your time racing underpowered...:-(
