Design
The J/92 was designed by Rod Johnstone. It was introduced in 1992 by J/Boats who built 150 boats until 2003.{{cite web |title=J/92 |url=https://www.jboats.com/j92-performance |website=J/Boats website}}
The displacement–length ratio is 132{{cite web |title=Tech specs |url=https://www.jboats.com/j92-tech-specs |website=J/Boats website |accessdate=9 July 2020}} making it a light displacement boat. Beam is moderate at {{Convert|10|ft|m}} and the draft is {{Convert|5.9|ft|m}}. The asymmetrical spinnaker is flown from a extendable carbon bowsprit.{{cite web |title=Bob Perry J/92 design review |url=https://www.boats.com/reviews/perry-design-review-j92/ |website=www.boats.com |accessdate=9 July 2020}}

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.{{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}}
