| The J/92S is a high-performance, affordable 30
footer that is both manageable and comfortable for short-handed and
family sailing as well as a fun boat on the race course.
The J/92S hull
shares the design pedigree of the J/92, a past overall winner of Sailing
World Magazine’s Boat-of-the-Year, and a successful design in its own
right with over 170 boats built in Europe and North America. From the 92
platform, the J/92S has been optimized with a newly designed cockpit,
deck, keel, rudder, and sail plan with non-overlapping headsails. The
new masthead asymmetrical spinnaker is flown from a retractable carbon
bow sprit for simple downwind sailing in complete control. The net
result is a family-friendly boat with more stability, improved sailing
comfort and a noticeable performance boost.
The J/92S has proven popular in Europe with
one-design racing in England with strong fleets competing in
renowned Solent events like the Warsash Spring Series, Cowes
Week and Hamble Winter Series. On the continent, European
sailing on 92S's have been strong in Sweden (part of the Match
Race Center), The Netherlands and France-- particularly at La
Rochelle Week and the famous Spi Ouest Regatta in La Trinite Sur
Mer. Several J/92S's have been "turbo-charged" for the
Swiss, German and Italian Lakes, with lighter, taller rigs to
accommodate the frequent light-air racing they encounter at
higher altitudes.
J/92S is an easy-to-own 30 footer that addresses the need
for a mid-range sprit boat with inboard auxiliary and week-ending
accommodations.
