Hallberg-Rassy
HR 382
The HR 382 is one of Northern Europe's most recognisable production sailboats. Designed by Olle Enderlein for Hallberg-Rassy and built from 1984 to 1987, roughly 200 hulls left the yard — a transitional Enderlein-era hull between Monsun-scale boats and the Frers-era HR 41 and HR 43 lines. With 11.7 m LOA, 3.6 m beam, and about 8,500 kg displacement, the model suits couples and small crews cruising the Baltic, Skagerrak, and North Sea. The HR 382 is a low-volume Hallberg-Rassy still rooted in Olle Enderlein lines before Germán Frers scaled the range. Nordic buyers compare it with HR 38, HR 36, and Najad 390 when seeking encapsulated iron ballast and teak-trim quality without 12 m berth premiums. Low production volume means each survey is model-specific: verify keel attachment, rudder bearings, and deck hardware bedding rather than relying on generic HR notes. Documented refits command quiet premiums between Baltic and North Sea brokers. Nordic buyers should compare asking price against documented rigging, keel encapsulation, and deck sealing — cosmetic refreshes rarely replace deferred structural maintenance. Expect 62,000–172,000 kr annual baseline in Swedish marinas with realistic technical reserves. FairHelm tracks HR 382 listings because these hulls trade constantly on Blocket, Scanboat, and German brokerage sites. Buyers are rarely choosing between "good" and "bad" boats — they are choosing between documented maintenance and deferred work. A polished teak cockpit or new plotter does not cancel unknown rigging age, keel-bolt corrosion, or moisture at chainplates. That is why survey discipline matters more here than brand romance. For Nordic ownership, HR 382 works as a coastal weekender with occasional longer passages when equipped for cold-water sailing: reliable heating, solid ground tackle, and a realistic technical reserve beyond berth and insurance. Compare adjacent models in FairHelm's [model guides](/en/yachts/models/) and read survey notes before committing a deposit. The cheapest asking price on Blocket is rarely the cheapest boat to own over three seasons. When you shortlist an HR 382, build a simple survey scorecard: hull moisture, rigging age, drivetrain service, and chainplate integrity. Owner forums and yard quotes from Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Helsingør help you separate cosmetic refresh from structural deferral — especially on boats marketed as "ready to sail" without invoices.

Typical problems
- What keel bolt corrosion issues appear on HR 382?
- Encapsulated iron keels still need bolt inspection on pre-1990 HR layups.
- What chainplate leak issues appear on HR 382?
- Internal rust staining near chainplates should trigger laminate inspection.
- What teak cockpit wear issues appear on HR 382?
- Teak decks and coamings need realistic maintenance budgets.
- What standing rigging fatigue issues appear on HR 382?
- Original rigging on low-mileage boats is still age-limited.
- What mast step issues appear on HR 382?
- Deck-step partners need compression and water-path checks.
Design History
Hallberg-Rassy built the HR 382 from 1984 to 1987 as a short-run Enderlein cruiser bridging Monsun-scale production and the later Frers-era scaling. Olle Enderlein shaped the hull lines and interior volume for predictable manners in Baltic chop and North Sea swell. Registry and owner-club sources cite approximately 200 completed hulls — a loyal owner network that keeps listings moving quietly between Baltic and North Sea brokers.
The 382 shares DNA with HR 38 and the larger HR 41 but in a transitional package that explains mixed rig and interior inventories on today's market. Hallberg-Rassy positioned the model for owner crews rather than charter fleets.
Mid-production changes were mostly interior trim, engine options, and deck hardware rather than fundamental hull revisions. That means survey condition, winter storage history, and rigging invoices usually matter more than the model year printed on the brochure. When you evaluate an HR 382 on Blocket, treat the maintenance story as part of the specification — not a footnote after the asking price.
Annual Ownership Costs
| Cost item | Low (SEK) | High (SEK) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marina berth | 22,000 | 48,000 | 11.7 m class, Stockholm/Gothenburg |
| Insurance | 8,000 | 22,000 | Agreed value and cruising area |
| Haul-out + winter | 12,000 | 28,000 | Yard package varies by region |
| Antifouling + hull care | 6,000 | 16,000 | Materials and labour |
| Engine / drivetrain | 5,000 | 16,000 | Service intervals and saildrive |
| Rigging reserve | 7,000 | 20,000 | Standing rigging age |
| Deck / structural reserve | 6,000 | 22,000 | Bedding, moisture follow-up |
| Total annual | 62,000 | 172,000 | Excludes major refit years |
Annual ownership for HR 382 is predictable when service records are complete. Berth, storage, and insurance dominate fixed costs in Sweden. The largest variables are rigging replacement timing and any survey-led deck or drivetrain work triggered after purchase. Keep a separate technical reserve so routine season costs stay stable — especially on Blocket boats marketed as "ready to sail" without invoices.
Pre-Purchase Survey Checklist
Pre-Purchase Inspection Checklist: HR 382
Hull, Keel and Underwater Body
- Moisture-map the underwater hull; document osmosis or barrier-coat history on HR 382 GRP of this era.
- Inspect keel-to-hull joint, encapsulated iron ballast, and backing structure for movement or recurring fairing cracks.
- Check rudder bearings and steering linkage under load during sea trial.
Deck and Hardware
- Test bedding at stanchions, tracks, and winches; open nearby interior access if damp stains appear.
- Inspect hatches and portlights for seal compression and core moisture at corners.
- Verify chainplate areas internally for rust staining or soft laminate.
Rig and Sail Systems
- Confirm standing rigging age with invoices; treat unknown age as near-term replacement on club-used hulls.
- Inspect mast step, spreaders, and terminals for corrosion or fatigue marks.
- Operate furling and reefing systems under realistic load.
Machinery and Systems
- Review engine and saildrive service including cooling, exhaust elbow, and mounts.
- Audit batteries, charging, and owner-added electrical work for safe fusing.
- Check tanks, bilges, and hoses for age-related seepage.
