The displacement–length ratio is 132<ref>{{cite web |title=Tech specs |url=https://www.jboats.com/j92-tech-specs |website=J/Boats website |accessdate=9 July 2020}}</ref> making it a light displacement boat.

==Construction== 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.<ref>{{cite book |title=J/92 owner manual |date=1993 |publisher=J/Boats |page=30 |url=https://www.jowners.org/images/docs/j92/J92%20Owner%20Guide.pdf}}</ref>
