Sailors are always looking for ways to improve their sailing techniques, improve manoeuvres and get the most out of the time spent on the water and this online resource provides a significant step towards this objective.
Animated graphic overlays demonstrate specific points to consider in completing manoeuvres, accompanied by an excellent voice over. Designed to help sailors improve their skills and sail their boats better, the video provides a free and excellent resource for 420 sailors around the world.

Building on this unique training resource, the International 420 Class Association will soon be launching a 420 E-Book – an online exercise book targeted at training and coaching techniques, with step by step instructions, training equipment required and guidance on how to evaluate performance.
Scheduled to go live in November 2014, the 420 E-Book will utilize technology to provide an innovative online training platform, combining instructional videos, coach notes and training techniques. Take a sneak preview at the promotional video
