| Overview | When you first step into a Dufour 382 salon, you may not find the galley where you expect it. Instead of the classic corner by the companionway, the kitchen can run the full length of the port side, like an open loft. | The Hallberg-Rassy 382 is a transitional masterpiece, representing the final evolution of the yard's collaboration with Christoph Rassy and Olle Enderlein before the full transition to Germán Frers designs. |
| Typical issues | Q: Why is a listing that says "2014–..." with an empty end year, or quotes 11.67 m, not enough for a Dufour 382? A: The yard window for this form is 2014–2019. Cards often leave the end blank or quote 11.67 m with bowsprit instead of hull 11.25 m; after 2019 the market also carries the 390. | Q: Is the HR 382 too heavy for light-wind sailing? A: While it is a heavy-displacement yacht, the 382 is surprisingly capable if the sail inventory is in good condition. |
