j92 / j92s one design sails
The Ultimate Sails team has been making J92 sails since the first boats arrived in the UK in the late 1990's, we went on to help develop the IRM version in the early 2000's and then co owned our own j92s. Through sailing the boat regularly we've made progressive improvements to the design of each new sail and we have been able to come up with a package that takes the boat through the full wind range without compromise. This understanding has not only allowed us to produce fast sails that suit the characteristics of the boat but also to improve the durability and help them to be fast for longer. We've won the J Cup with our own J92s and "Wizard of Cos" won the National Championships using the latest design Ultimate Sails.

Construction
Upwind sails are constructed with primary Fibres of Black Aramid which gives a good balance between shape retaining strength and performance. Durability is increased with the addition of a technora X ply scrim and extra leech fibre passes.

Headsails
The vertical profile of the J92s Code 2 AP Jib needs to be very fair to maximize the wind speed range in which the sail operates. We’ve refined this profile to ensure that the sail generates maximum power in light winds but can then be flattened using a combination of sheet and halyard tension for strong winds. Combined with the introduction of new fibre layouts and increased fibre content, this sail is more durable and versatile than ever.

Asymmetric
The biggest change in sail design during the life of the class has undoubtedly been in the downwind sails and we’ve been at the forefront of these developments. Most J92s have one masthead and one fractional asymmetric so its important that the masthead sail works through a wide wind speed and wind angle range. Our latest Code 2 masthead asymmetric design is very stable and the luff rolls well to windward to allow you to sail deeper angles in light and medium conditions. This combined with stepped construction (0.9oz nylon in the high load luff area) and maximum twist in the top leech increases acceleration and helps to promote early planing for a great all round sail.
