  • that crew is stupid. DONT help them flat after the rolltack unless they NEED it.

  • greg fisher is moving next door to me

  • i could sail a 420 by myself 3 people

  • loved the ending. that was some true shadowing

  • those things are slow as hell, i fly by them in my byte.

  • Is the 420 designed mostly for kids/lightweight people?

  • ide say light weight to mid weight

  • the Jy15or 470 are for heavier crews (jys suck tho)

  • usually 4 high school sailors

  • 4 sailors on one boat?

    420 is a sport boat

  • You can generally pull off a sail in them with any weight, but generally you want two mid-weight sailors.

  • No no no lol I ment they are FOR high school sailors. I know that there need to be 2 in the boat. 4 is just plain dumb

  • the optimal weight is 220-300 lbs. or 100-136 kg.

    that can be made up by 1 person, but is made for 2 people, skipper handles the tiller(extension) and main sheet and helps keep the boat lever, and the crew is in charge of the jib sheet/spinnaker, minor adjustments such as loosening/tightening the outhaul/boomvang when going downwind or upwind, and other minor performance adjustments, and is used as ballast to keep the boat level via the trapeze

  • @jpinella The ideal competitive combined crew weight is 17 to 23 stone, 240-320 lbs, 110-145Kg.

  • those are good roll tacks

  • no no if ur on the main sail then the skipper takes it from u but if u are skipper or jib then u can do stuff

  • yeah i sail a 420 there real fun and hard w/ only two people but w/ three its easy i sail w/ two people its real fun

  • you sailed a 420 with 3 people?? thats just stupid you must have been going relly slow

  • yeah really slow but easy because only two people do the work lol so one preson always sits and does nothing if u have three people

  • i won't to be doing stuff wehen sailing not just sitting there

  • lol i once sailed one with 4...slow as shit

  • lol u have very old 420 ;/

  • i don't like them witrh out trapeze they fell werid

  • i love 420's amazing boats to sail.. i love hiking with them lol they handle so well.. and yeee trapeze :D
