| Overview | On Swedish Blocket and on international YachtWorld, two listings can share the same model name. One matches Thorwald Karlsson’s Najadvarvet boat: built 1984–1995, LOA about 11.75 m. | 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: Which years and which designer should you check first on a Najad 390? A: Production 1984–1995 at Najadvarvet, designer Thorwald Karlsson. Reject ads or catalogues that give 1997–2005 or Olle Enderlein for this model; that is the wrong era and the wrong designer. Q: Which dimensions should match the yard-era record? A: LOA about 11.75 m and beam about 3.50 m with displacement about 9.5 t. | 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. |
