The J/92 is a fixed keel one-design sportsboat.
Design[edit]
The J/92 was designed by Rod Johnstone. It was introduced in 1992 by J/Boats who built 150 boats until 2003.[3]
The displacement–length ratio is 132[4] making it a light displacement boat. Beam is moderate at 10 feet (3.0 m) and the draft is 5.9 feet (1.8 m). The asymmetrical spinnaker is flown from a extendable carbon bowsprit.[5]
Sailing World selected the J/92 as overall "Boat of the Year" in 1993.[6]
Construction[edit]
The J/92 was built by Tillotson-Pearson Inc (TPI) in Warren, Rhode Island using a fiberglass sandwich construction of end-grain balsa core. Frames and bulkheads are glassed both to the hull and deck. The keel is seated in epoxy and thru-bolted to the keel stub.[7]
