420s

The club 420 is a 4.20 meter-long (13.8 feet), double handed dingy with both a main and a jib. These boats provide a great learning opportunity for sailors of all skill levels, serving as the base for many high school and collegiate sailing teams, while also existing as a simple, safe leaning boat for beginners. The EYC has 18 420s that are used for lessons and racing. Races, held twice a week, are both fun and competitive, often including many boats out on the race course.

Fleet Activities

Fleet activities revolve around the 420 racing series, held on Tuesday and Friday evenings. Additionally, look for the 420 fleet to work on adding chalk talks before and/or after series races and the junior regatta. If you have and questions or suggestions, please contact 420 fleet captain Hayden Johansen at [email protected].

420 Series

The Club 420 race series take place on Tuesday and Friday evenings with boat draws at 5pm. The first race starts one hour later. All EYC sailors are encouraged to race. EYC trophies are awarded to the winner of each race.   The top woman skipper receives a plaque at the end of the season.
