J/92 vs J/92s: the short version
- The J/92 and J/92s are close in length (30.0 ft9.14 m vs 30.0 ft9.14 m ).
- By the capsize screening formula the J/92s rates better for offshore work (2.25 vs 2.27).
Ratios are guidelines computed from published specs; condition, layout and gear matter as much as the numbers.
