J Boats J/92 J92 J 92

You may have to sail the J/92 to believe it!  Her unique version of an asymmetric spinnaker is set from a 5.5' retractable, carbon-fiber J/Sprit.  Jibing is a snap from the cockpit with nobody on the foredeck.  Simply let out one sheet and pull in the other.  The tack remains attached to the sprit at all times.  Whether it's blowing 5 knots or 25, 2 people can fly the J/92's spinnaker with greater control and speed than 4 could have flown a conventional spinnaker.

Rod Johnstone designed the J/92 for family participation.  Her great stability and highly efficient systems make it easier to sail with a few people you care for instead of a gang of specialists you'd need sailing conventional designs.  Running backstays, spinnaker pole, pole lift, foreguy, after guys, grinders, tailers, gorillas on the rail:  they're gone!

You hardly need a winch to tack the 100% jib or jibe the asymmetric spinnaker.  It's that easy!  If you want to race, this boat is a PHRF rule beater!
