The **J/92** is a [fixed keel](/source/Keel) [one-design](/source/One-design) [sportsboat](/source/Sportsboat).

## Design

The J/92 was designed by Rod Johnstone. It was introduced in 1992 by [J/Boats](/source/J/Boats) who built 150 boats until 2003.[3]

The [displacement–length ratio](/source/Displacement%E2%80%93length_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](/source/Asymmetrical_spinnaker) is flown from an extendable carbon [bowsprit](/source/Bowsprit).[5]

Sailing World selected the J/92 as overall "Boat of the Year" in 1993.[6]

## Construction

The J/92 was built by [Tillotson-Pearson Inc](/source/Tillotson_Pearson) (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]
