J Boats J 92

J Boats J92 from 1998, a racing-cruising sailboat known for its performance, reliability, and sailing pleasure. This iconic model from the American shipyard J Boats is particularly sought after for its excellent compromise between speed, ease of handling, and versatility.

This boat is in good overall condition with regular and rigorous maintenance. It is up to date for coastal regattas and ready to sail immediately.

The Yanmar 1GM10 engine of 10 horsepower was replaced in 2023 with a fully reconditioned second-hand engine. The gear shift lever was changed in 2019 and engine maintenance was carried out in 2025. Invoices are available, guaranteeing careful follow-up.

The deck and rigging offer a complete and high-performance equipment with a retractable carbon bow sprit, an aluminum spinnaker pole, four self-tailing Harken winches, as well as a Spinlock steering stick and recently serviced Spinlock XA clam cleats. The anchoring gear includes a 10 kg Britany anchor with chain and cable.

The running rigging was entirely redone in Dyneema between 2018 and 2019 and is regularly checked with recent replacements in 2024 and 2025 including a backstay block, outhaul, and various clutch blocks. The standing rigging has been partially renewed with a forestay replaced in 2016.

The sail inventory is complete and suitable for a mixed regatta and cruising program. The boat is equipped with a Dacron mainsail, currently rigged in its lazy bag, ideal for shorthanded cruising and convoying. It also has a 2018 Intervoiles jib in very good condition, two carbon genoas and DCX genoas with high overlap, a kevlar genoa staysail, as well as a symmetrical spinnaker and an A3 asymmetrical spinnaker. The lazy bag and lazy jack are from 2016 with battens renewed in 2024. The foresails are mounted on shackles with the option to reinstall a roller furling genoa.

The hull is carefully maintained with an annual treatment including sanding to bare and application of Speedy Carbonium racing antifouling. The last treatment was in August 2024 and cleaning is regularly performed underwater.

Navigation electronics include a Raymarine EV-100 autopilot with remote, Tacktick instruments with log, depth, and display units, as well as a SeaTalk NG network and an active GPS antenna. An ASN VHF radio is installed on board.

The electrical system has been modernized with a new electrical panel, a shore power charger, a charge splitter, a 2023 engine battery, and a 2021 service battery. Interior lighting and navigation lights are LED.

The interior is simple, functional, and optimized for navigation with a 70-liter water tank whose circuit was redone in 2024, rear berths under the cockpit equipped with bunks, a removable saloon table, and marine toilets.

The safety equipment includes a Plastimo 4-person survival raft and coastal armament.

This J92 is an excellent opportunity for a navigator seeking a high-performance, well-maintained sailboat ready to sail, suitable for both regattas and fast cruising.
