club/international 420?

   I am considering buying an (international) 420, but 

whilst 

dong some research into the class, I discovered a thing 

called a "club" 420 (as opposed to "international") which 

is supposed to be heavier and more robust for use by 

sailing schools etc. 

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between them? 

(builders plates possibly?) or how common/uncommon this 

"club 420" is in the uk?

Thanks

Michael

	"Club" 420s are only found in the US and are quite horrible things! You don't need to consider them here.

	ok, thanks for that, just wanted to make sure that i wasnt likely to come across one and mistake it for a "real" 420
