The Club 420 is a derivative of the 420 that is popular in the North America. The class is not recognised by International Sailing Federation or the International 420 Class Association and can't be used at 420 class events. The boats are very similar in appearance but the club 420 is slightly stronger, heavier and less refined. Originally created by the Harken Brothers (Vanguard Boats) in the US they acquired a license to build the International 420 however they ended up producing the Club 420.
