History

Rod Johnstone designed the J 92 in 1992 as a lighter, faster sister to the J 30 built for short handed racing and coastal cruising. Sailing World named it Boat of the Year in 1993, and around 180 were built before J Boats replaced it with the redesigned J 92s in 2005.

Sailing Characteristics

A high ballast ratio and fractional rig give the J 92 stiff, powerful upwind performance for its size, and its light weight makes it genuinely easy to sail short handed. It suits owners who want a real racer that can still take a couple away for the weekend.

Racing Context

Fleets race under PHRF and within J Boats one design programs across the USA, with active owner groups keeping boats competitive on club and regional circuits.
