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

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

  • 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

  • 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

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

  • 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

  • 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.
