| Overview | An advert that only says X-362 is two rows in the former-models table on Wikipedia's X-Yachts page: X-362, 1993-2003, 93 hulls, hull length 10.70 m, and X-362 Sport, 1998-2004, 156 hulls, the same hull length. | The HR 38 is one of Northern Europe's most recognisable production sailboats. Designed by Olle Enderlein for Hallberg-Rassy and built from 1977 to 1982 — a classic Enderlein blue-water cruiser before the Frers era scaled the range. |
| Typical issues | An advert without the word Classic or Sport does not say which keel and which rig are on the boat. sailboatdata puts the Sport in the years 1993-2003 with the count 156. Wikipedia puts those same 156 hulls in 1998-2004. Until the papers name the version, draft and hull count from a single row do not apply. Q: Is this the same boat as the X-332? A: No. | Q: What osmotic blistering issues appear on HR 38? A: Older HR GRP may show osmosis; barrier-coat history should be documented. Q: What chainplate leak issues appear on HR 38? A: Chainplate backing pads need internal inspection for laminate softness. Q: What iron keel corrosion issues appear on HR 38? A: Iron ballast encapsulation should be verified with moisture readings. |
