The Projection 762 emerged in the mid1990s as a sophisticated British entry into the rapidly evolving sportsboat market. Designed by the renowned naval architect Stephen Jones, whose portfolio includes celebrated designs for Rustler and Sadler, the 762 was conceived as a "bridge" vessel—offering the raw acceleration of a racing dinghy alongside the structural integrity and offshore capability of a small yacht. Unlike many of its contemporaries that were strictly harborbound dayracers, the Projection 762 was built to the Small Boat Rule (SBR) and later optimized for IRC, featuring a more substantial hull form and a basic but functional interior. Production was handled by Projection Yachts in the United Kingdom, where fewer than 100 units were reportedly commissioned, cementing its status as a niche but highly respected club racer.
