Early models were easily crafted out of wood. All optimist sailboats in the FVSS program are newer models made of fiberglass.

Club 420

The Club 420 is a larger boat, designed to be sailed by two that offers more excitement on the water for our teen students. The boat is used by many high schools and colleges for their competitive sailing programs. The 420 is equipped with a mainsail, jib, and optional spinnaker. A comfortable, buoyant boat, the 420 is safe yet offers new challenges for the older sailors.
