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
