J Boats J92

'Why Not?' is a J/92, a sleek fast design with a high ballast ratio, stiff, responsive, and fast — this particular J/92 is well suited to short-handed sailing, given the current owners modification and having won the EAORA Double Handed Championships. A well-maintained and thoughtfully set-up yacht, she benefits from recent upgrades, a strong sail wardrobe, and practical systems designed for ease of handling.
