| Overview | On the X-Yachts site the X-332 has a hull length of 10.06 m. The years there are 1994-2005, and 432 were built. Boat-Specs prints the same hull length and, separately, an overall length of 10.31 m. Beam on both of its pages is 3.3 m. | You stand in the narrow walk-through that made the Hallberg-Rassy 352 a yard sensation in 1978. |
| Typical issues | The standard rig on the yard's site is fractional, and the shrouds are rod, not continuous wire. Boat-Specs also writes rod. The standard keel is a cast-iron fin and a lead bulb. The yard says that too. The card file that Sailwiki repeats puts ballast for the standard at 1,800 kg, not 1,750. We do not take one number. The engine on both Boat-Specs pages is 18 horsepower. | Q: Which Hallberg-Rassy 352 years and hull counts should I verify first? A: Yard production is 1978–1991 with 802 hulls (Christoph Rassy / Olle Enderlein). Reject catalogue copy that still prints 1977–1989 or dims 10.7×3.35 m at about 5.8 t. Confirm plate identity on the hardstand before you negotiate. Q: How serious is the original mild-steel fuel tank? A: The tank sits deep in the bilge. |
