How many of you J92 sailers have a number-2 genoa as part of your sail inventory? My
J92 "J'Ronimo" has a number-1 and number-3, however I find that with the
number-1 we are over pressed above 16 knots apparent, but the no-3 does not start to work
until the wind is 19 knots plus apparent. I think that there is a need for a number-2 to
fill the gap,does anyone else feel the same way? Has anyone who races under IRC removed
the number-1 from the boat and replaced it with a number-2 to get the boats handicap
down,if so how much of a rating difference did it make?

How can I steady the mast on my European build J/92 ? I would like to fix the mast
better as it is now : they used some black-rubber string wich tends to being pulverized by
the movements of the mast. This makes a nasty mess around the compartment! The application
of Spar-Tight seems a bit awkward to me because the mast "touches" the collar on
both sides, and there seems to be no room to create a solid ring. Maybe back to wooden
wedges ?

J92 Owners, I'm interested on how you feel the J92 performs in light, med, and heavy
air as compared to J80's, J105's and other common boats such as J29's, Hobie 33's, Melges
24's, etc. Maybe more to the point is with a rating in the 102-105 range does the J92
peform well in a certain wind range and maybe have a disadvantage in another range? (I
know, very complicated quetion with lots of variables) but I'd like to get a
"sense" of any advantages/drawbacks from owners.

Good news on the building front for J/92s. J Composite in France has been in steady
production throughout 1999 and is backlogged to February. Worldwide total of boats is now
about 125. There are four recently sold into Holland, 5 into the UK. Because of the
favorable exchange rate with France, it looks like we will be able to offer a new J/92
landed on the east coast for approx. $65k before sails and electronics. We are working on
all the logistics and will make an announcement back on this page soon. The last published
retail price when US built was $71K in 1997. Production slowed as used boats became
available.

Lady J Violet (hull Number 104) raced the "Barcolana" last sunday 10 th
october, this is maybe one of the most "crowded" regattas in the world. This
year over 1800 boats ! Check this site www.barcolana.it. We finished 84 th overall,
beating a lot of big racing boats. I'll post soon some pics.

I have been impressed with the J/92 since its introduction in 1992 and have recently
begun to investigate a purchase (I have had a J/22 for 9 years). I was told by someone
that the boat is no longer manufactured in the US and only in limited numbers in France
with a price that rivals the J/105 (after import duties, etc). Is this true? Perhaps this
explains why I see more 105s than 92s out on the water. Are there any plans to resume
production in the US? (The J/24 comes to mind.) Is this the best forum to watch for used
92s? I don't see many listings in publications such as "Soundings". Thank you!

I will be traveling to LA begining of November and then onto Rochester NY. Does any one
own a J92 close to these areas. I sail in Singapore and it very lonely out here. So I do
not get the benifit to see how others have there boats arranged, set up or other little
tunning tweaks that are used by you serious sailors. I would like if posible to have a
peak at some other boats. So I could steel shamlesly your ideas. Any offers.

Hi Andy ... I wondered if anyone would comment on the sheet arrangement as I think most
crews use a forward turning block. We've found that the less blocks we use, the easier the
gybes are since the unloaded sheet runs smoother and that helps the whole gybe go better.
The downside is the macrame(?sp) effect in the cockpit but it's manageable. Certainly it
allows access with a fair lead to either cabin top winch ... we use the windward one but
can transfer to the leeward one for times that you might need the windward one for
halyards. If you want any more details .... just email me. Cheers, Colin #8 Poohsticks

Pooh Sticks: I notice from the photo on the home page that Pooh Sticks has led their
spinnaker sheet accross to the windward side rather than to the forward turing block. I
have experimented with various sheet arrangements as I find the sheet fouls the cabin top
if led from the forward block to the windward halyard winch (as per J105s). Any advice ?

ATTENTION J/92 SKIPPERS -- Fantastic last minute opportunity to race in the J/92 North
Americans at the Larchmont, NY NOOD, Sept. 10-12, 1999. There is a race equipped J/92
available in Larchmont for you to sail (the owner has to be away that weekend). No charter
fee, just reimburse the $100 race entry fee (the boat is already entered), sail in a
reasonable manner, and be responsible in the unlikely event that you cause damage to the
boat. Bring your own crew, or we can supply local crew with J/92 experience. We will also
try to find free housing for you. What a deal !!! If interested, please contact Margo
Taylor immediately at (o) (212) 856-9090, (h) (212) 980-3549, or e-mail: emtesq@aol.com.

I need some help! I need to change the name of my J92, as the previous owner wanted to
keep it. The problem is that the old name is applied using vinyl self-adhesive letters.
They have gone hard and brittle and will not peel of. And only break up into tiny 1mm
pieces when attacked! I have had suggestions of using a hot air gun to applying paint
stripper to the plastic. Before I go out and buy every one of these to have a serious go,
has any one found a workable solution?

Reminder that the J/92 NORTH AMERICANS will be held on Sept. 10, 11, and 12, 1999 at
the Larchmont NOOD. Please try to attend, for it promises to be a terrific event . Every
effort is being made to keep the costs down. For example, Larchmont Yacht Club will
provide free moorings during the regatta. McMichael's Yacht Yard (the J/Boat dealer for
the Larchmont area) has agreed to launch and haul the out of town J/92's and to step and
unstep their masts for a total of $150 round trip (very generous on their part) and those
of us who live in the area will try to find free housing for out of town crews. So, if
there is any possibility of your attending, please contact me for more details. Thanks.

I recently purchased hull #4 from Dennis Verbiar of Ohio...she begged me to change her
name from Heart Breaker. She insisted on a name from the Wompanoag indians who once owned
the island of Nantucket....one of her favorite destinations. Coatue is her new name....
she is much happier with this name and promises to sail much faster now that the burden of
being named heart breaker has been lifted from her transom.

We race our J92 in Puget Sound PHRF and have been fairly successful against a mixed
fleet of other J boats (J30's, J35'S and a J80). Recently we have experienced difficulties
pointing in light wind and also at moderate wind speeds as compared with the rest of the
fleet. We have been playing with the rig tuning and we are looking for some references.
Does anybody have any shroud tension numbers we can try and how would they change with a
change in wind conditions?

sailing for 25 years. I own a J/30 which I race in the local PHR Fleet. Last year at BI, I
crewed on "Dream Catcher", a Capri 37. I did some jib trim, some fill in where
needed and some sitting on the rail . The owner bought a smaller boat and did not need me
this year. I weight about 175lbs and am in good health. I've got a good sailing
background, and could fill in wherever needed. Contact me by - phone: (h) 860-623-4001

Hi to all from Poohsticks, Hull #8 in Nova Scotia. I thought I'd take a moment to
respond to a few of the questions posted recently. First, to Talbot ... yes, the class
rules were modified for the '98 NA's and I would anticipate the same changes for '99 NA's.
This is to improve the chance of participation from 92's which are mostly geared up for
PHRF racing rather than class. You could check with Margo Taylor as to the plans in this
regard. There is a good treatise on J Boats handicaps on the J Boats web page but
basically there is a -6 usually for 155% vs 100%, I believe. To Steve ... I don't use a #2
... I find the cutoff for me with 5-7 crew for the change from #1 to #3 is about 15-16
knots. I don't think many people use a #2 .... anyone correct me? To Alan ....
congratulations .... To Keith .... sorry to lose you .... To all the rest of the Class
Association ... fair winds, happy sailing! Colin

I have questions about the J92 OD standard PHRF ratings. My J92 #37 Jambalaya has a
shoal draft and in the GYA rates 114 with a -6 sec for a 155% Jib. In the "home
page" photo of Poohsticks in the 1998 NA's they are have a Kevlar jib on the deck.
Were class rules changed for this regatta? What I read in the Association rules says
Dacron or Mylar attached to and operated on the roller furller. What kind of PHRF rating
difference are boats getting for a 155% jib vs OD?

Shooting Star is ready to hit the water this week. Pictures soon to follow of blast
reaches and grinning sailors, I can't wait. Question, when racing the J92 in PHRF you take
a hit if you use a symmetrical spinnaker and pole but what if you use the A-sail and
attach a whisker pole to it. Does this also result in a PHRF penalty? Anybody out there
tried it yet? Seems like it would make downwind wing on wings doable and require little
modification to the original design. Any and all responses will be appreciated even if its
just to say Hi. Rick...........

I'm considering a used J92 for winter sailing in Charlotte Harbor, FL. Five foot keel
depths are max. Can anyone give pro/cons on shoal draft option vs full 5.9ft keel? Any
shoal draft boats available?

I think Margo's idea is great. We would like to invite J-92 sailors to join us in Asia
for one or all of the major regattas around Singapore. The main season has just ended, so
there is plenty of time to work out details for next Fall (we race all year round, but the
local weekend racing is pretty tame stuff). The big regattas are the following (the all
have web sites if you want more information): The Singapore Straits Regatta - a week of
races in Singapore and close-by Batam, Indonesia; The Raja Muda - a week of passage races
(mostly at night) and bouy races along the west coast of Malaysia; The King's Cup in
Phuket, Thailand - the biggest and the best - locals say that small boats do not do well
in this typically heavy-air regatta - anyone want to try to prove them wrong and give it a
go on 'Pla Loma'? These are all well run and professional regattas. They are (in)famous
for their party atmosphere. I did them last year on other people's boats, so I know the
program. I'd like to do the circuit on my J-92 this year. The boat is in top shape and was
high-point boat in Singapore in 1998 and Boat of the Year In Singapore in 1997. It's a
long way off to these races, but I welcome interested J-92 owners and crew to contact me.

ATTENTION J/92 OWNERS OUTSIDE OF THE U.S.! We race a J/92, Quetzal, out of Greenwich,
CT and are fairly competitive (missed winning the 1998 J/92 N.A.'s by one point). I have
an idea which may eventually be of interest to many J/92 owners, if it can be implemented.
I (and perhaps a couple of my crew) would love to race on a J/92 abroad in a major regatta
and in exchange could offer the opportunity for you to join us on Quetzal in a major U.S.
regatta (such a Block Island Race Week in June, 1999). All the details would have to be
worked out if anyone has an interest. Please contact me at emtesq@aolcom. Thanks.

I am looking for a crew position for the Warsash Spring Series starting in March. I
have been racing a j92 succesfully for the past two seasons as well as doing some work on
J105's and a 110. I also have quite a lot of experience on X332's. I can do pretty much
any job on board including navigation and I am looking for a spot on a competitive boat
for the whole six races. Any offers?

I'm interested in getting feedback on rig tuning-- specifically mast position in the
boat and headstay length. Also, I've seen other people ask, but no answers posted re who
knows how to make proper sails for the J-92 (tuffluff setup). The Asian sailmakers I've
dealt with don't know the boat well enough- and there are no sailmakers in Singapore, so
recuts are tough/expensive. There must be an East-Coast loft that can help. It's time to
get serious for the 1999 season!
