J Boats J 92

J Boats J92 from 1998, a sailing yacht renowned for its performance, reliability, and sailing enjoyment. This iconic model from the American shipyard J Boats is particularly sought after for its excellent balance between speed, ease of maneuvering, and versatility.

This boat is in good overall condition with regular and rigorous maintenance. It is up-to-date for coastal racing 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 serious follow-up.

The deck and rigging offer a complete and high-performance equipment with a retractable carbon bowsprit, an aluminum spinnaker pole, four Harken self-tailing winsches, as well as a Spinlock tiller and recently maintained Spinlock XA cleats. The mooring kit includes a 10 kg Brittany anchor with chain and warp.

The running rigging was entirely replaced with Dyneema between 2018 and 2019 and is subject to regular monitoring, with recent replacements in 2024 and 2025 including spinnaker halyard, reefing lines, and various blocks. The standing rigging was partially renewed with a forestay replaced in 2016.

The sail wardrobe is complete and suitable for a mixed race and cruising program. The boat is equipped with a dacron mainsail, currently rigged in its lazy bag, ideal for cruising and convoying. It also has a 2018 Intervoiles genoa in very good condition, two carbon gennakers and DCX foresails with high overlap, a kevlar staysail, as well as a symmetric spinnaker and an A3 asymmetric spinnaker. The lazy bag and lazy jack date from 2016, with reefs renewed in 2024. The foresails are mounted on shackles with the possibility to reinstall a furler.

The hull is meticulously maintained with an annual treatment including sanding down to bare fiberglass and application of Speedy Carbonium racing antifouling. The last intervention was in August 2024, and cleaning is regularly performed by diving.

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

The electrical system has been modernized with a recent electrical panel, a shore power charger, a charge distributor, 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.

Safety equipment includes a Plastimo life raft for 4 persons and coastal armament.

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