It is the equipment for the two-person dinghy boys and two-person dinghy girls events at the Youth Sailing World Championships , the pinnacle youth event in the world.

Despite the emergence of newer commercial driven classes and asymmetrics, the 420 is still the world's top youth training boat. A brand new 420 ready to sail costs approximately EUR5500 - 6000, making the boat an extremely affordable choice.

About 350 boats are built per year, with 1850 boats built over the past 5 years.

In 2020, the International 420 Class celebrated its 60th Anniversary.

The International 420 Class is recognised by World Sailing as an " World Sailing Learn to Sail Training Programme Recommended Boat ", which endorses its use by Member National Authorities for developing and teaching sailing in their nation. This status also endorses that the 420 is proven to have suitable availability to MNA's and also offers a supply structure to reduce costs to the MNA's and Learn to Sail Programme training centres.

All boats recognised by World Sailing have been independently assessed by World Sailing to be ideal for developing and/or teaching sailing within the World Sailing Learn to Sail programme; they also undergo safety assessments such as European CE marking or coastguard assessment.

420 Sailboat: An In-depth Analysis

The 420 sailboat, a classic in the sailing world, is known for its versatility and performance. Loved by both beginners and seasoned sailors alike, this craft offers a unique sailing experience. In this comprehensive review, we will delve into its features, functionality, and overall value.

The History of the 420 Sailboat

The 420 sailboat has been a staple in the boating community since its creation in 1959. Designed by Christian Maury, this French-made dinghy has gained a reputation for being a top choice for youth training, high school and collegiate sailing, and even for competitive events. Over the decades, it has proven its worth and stood the test of time, making it a much-loved choice for many sailors.

Design and Construction

When it comes to design and construction, the 420 sailboat is nothing short of impressive. Its 4.2 meters of length coupled with a light hull weight of around 80 kg allows for easier transportation and storage. The boat's construction materials have evolved over time, with modern versions often featuring a durable fiberglass hull and an aluminum mast.

Sails and Rigging

The 420's sailplan consists of a mainsail, a jib, and a spinnaker. This configuration offers a balanced performance in various wind conditions, allowing sailors to efficiently manage and adjust sails as necessary.

Performance on Water

The 420 sailboat's performance is noteworthy, as it strikes a perfect balance between speed, stability, and maneuverability. Its responsiveness, combined with the simplicity of its handling, makes it an ideal boat for a wide range of skill levels.

Handling and Maneuverability

The 420's handling and maneuverability is where this vessel truly shines. Its lightweight design and efficient hull shape allow for quick tacking and gybing, while the adjustable rigging system enables sailors to modify the boat's performance according to changing conditions.

Comfort and Safety

Although primarily designed for competitive sailing, the 420 sailboat doesn't compromise on comfort and safety. The cockpit is spacious enough to accommodate two people comfortably, while the hull's robust construction and the boat's inherent stability offer peace of mind to the crew on board.

The 420 sailboat is truly a gem in the sailing world. With its enduring design, commendable performance, and solid build, it promises an enjoyable sailing experience. Whether you're a beginner looking for a reliable boat to learn on, or an experienced sailor seeking a versatile craft for competitive racing, the 420 sailboat certainly warrants consideration.

Price and Value

When it comes to value for money, the 420 sailboat stands tall among its competitors. While the initial investment may seem significant, its longevity, performance capabilities, and the enduring demand in the second-hand market make it a worthwhile investment for the serious sailor.

Initial Cost

The price of a new 420 sailboat can vary significantly depending on the manufacturer, equipment included, and the specific model. As of 2023, you can expect to pay anywhere between $8,000 to $12,000 for a new 420 sailboat.

Maintenance and Operating Costs

The 420 sailboat's maintenance costs are relatively low compared to other similar vessels. Due to its robust construction and simple design, regular cleaning and occasional rigging adjustments are generally all that's needed to keep a 420 in top shape. Additionally, being a small sailing dinghy, it doesn't incur mooring fees and its transportation costs are minimal.

Resale Value

One of the standout aspects of the 420 sailboat is its strong resale value. Given its popularity in sailing schools and racing events, there is always demand in the second-hand market. Well-maintained boats often retain a significant percentage of their original value, making the 420 a financially sound choice.

Final Thoughts

The 420 sailboat is a true classic that continues to hold its own in the contemporary sailing world. With its perfect balance of performance, durability, and value, it offers a versatile sailing solution for enthusiasts of all skill levels.

In conclusion, the 420 sailboat ticks all the right boxes for both recreational and competitive sailing. From its clever design and excellent performance to its safety features and overall value, it offers everything a sailor could ask for. For those in the market for a reliable, efficient, and enjoyable sailing vessel, the 420 sailboat is indeed a worthy contender.

Island Packet 420

Island Packet 420 is a 44 ′ 7 ″ / 13.6 m monohull sailboat designed by Robert K. Johnson and built by Island Packet Yachts starting in 1999.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Hunter 420 Passage???

I was on a "Hunter 420 Passage" last weekend - It was stenciled on the side of the boat. When I go to Sailboat Data i find a "Hunter 420" listed at 43.5 LOA and a "Hunter 42 Passage" listed at 42 LOA. They each have quite different displacment/length ratios (which I refer to for my quick reference to what kind of boat I am looking at). When I go to the Hunter site listing of older models I do not find a Hunter 420 at all and nothing (that I could see) listed as a Passage. What gives?

The 420 was built in the late 90's and morphed into the 426 around 2000. It's a completely different boat than the 42, which was built from around 1991 through 1998. The Passage and Legend designations you see on some of the boats should be ignored. It wasn't consistently applied and gets misused all the time. Originally, the Passage name applied to Hunter's center cockpit designs: the 42, and I think the 420 and 450 carried it, too, but then it was dropped. If you google images of Hunter 42 and Hunter 420 you'll see substantial differences.

"If you google images of Hunter 42 and Hunter 420 you'll see substantial differences." Yes. But I am seeing three feet difference in the same Hunter 420 (not Hunter 420 -vs- Hunter 42- although the Hunter 42 is the only one I see in writing called a Passage - even though I was actually on one called a Hunter 420 Passage). Moving from confused to confounded. Next stop is certifiable.

I think it's just an elongation game. In other words, IF I recall correctly, the 410 and 420 are actually the same hull, for example. I suspect the difference you are trying to figure out is length on deck vs. length overall. Since the anchor platform extends way out (see photos) it may be just a different measurement of the same basic boat. You will see minor differences in water line length, beam and LOA, but they are certainly not different hulls, rather they are differences in deck molds, displacement, etc. I think .. .

Buck420 said: I think you're possibly making too much of the "Passage" 'designation'. All 420s, 450s, 456s, and at least some 42s (which are all center cockpit Hunters) were delivered with the "Passage" decal on both sides of the hull (above the number). IMHO, the "Passage" 'moniker' was simply a marketing tool. As far as the discrepancy in measurements, I suspect that Rick's comments are the most reasonable explanation. If you're looking for a good live aboard/cruising sailboat, there are FAR more important things to consider than a bit of confusion about the actual boat length, and a decal. Click to expand
BayMan said: Its not a minor difference in LOA. It is - With all of the confusion (a lot from Hunter itself) how do I know if the boat I am looking at is really a Hunter 42 or a Hunter 420 except by actually measuring the boat or weighing it? - There is a significant difference in the 42 -vs- 420 with respect to the Disp/L and SA/Disp ratios. I would like to know what I may be buying. - How in the world can Hunter put out two documents, both on the 420, that lists the LOA 3 feet different? - Click to expand

why not go look?? There is no shortage of either model for sale across America- I suggest you go look at one of each- I did and the choice was really simple for me- I chose an older 42 and remain delighted with my choice! Let your eyes and your brain connect to your heart and I think you will find the choice is easy! Another huge benefit of buying any Hunter is the truly exceptional customer support offered by the guys at Hunter- OUTSTANDING!  

You're definitely right about the inconsistencies of the LOA documentation. I have a 420 Passage (2003 model) and truly don't know my LOA. Never took the time to measure it, but I suppose I could...  

Bill Kahn

The easiest way to tell All of the Passage 42s had a backstay and the 420 does not since it is a true B&R Rig. They are both good boats!

Generally, used boats can range from as low as $2,000 for older boats in need of some repair, to $15,000 for newer boats in excellent condition.

When shopping for a used 420 sailboat, it is important to keep in mind that the older the boat, the more likely it is to need additional repairs or maintenance.

While older boats may need some work, they can also be a great way to get a great deal on a sailboat.

It is important to inspect the boat thoroughly before making a purchase to ensure that it is in good condition and any necessary repairs are taken care of.

Additionally, it may be wise to purchase a boat with a warranty to protect against any unexpected repairs that may arise.
