X-362

The X-362 is one of Northern Europe's most visible Danish performance cruiser-racers. Designed by Niels Jeppesen for X-Yachts and built from 1993 to 2003, roughly 432 hulls left the yard — a fractional-rig one-design with build quality that still underpins Danish club racing and Swedish west-coast fleets. With 10.7 m LOA, 3.34 m beam, and about 4,700 kg displacement, the model suits couples and crews cross-shopping X-332, Dehler 36, and Hanse 370 when stiffness and one-design spares liquidity matter more than interior volume alone. Jeppesen drew the X-362 as a responsive cruiser-racer — clean deck, fractional rig, and construction that rewards buyers who understand 1990s X-Yachts survey practice. Four hundred thirty-two hulls give the model one-design spares liquidity and experienced survey networks uncommon on rare classics. Listings attract buyers who want performance without stepping to a full X-4xx budget. Survey focus: rudder post bearing play, chainplate corrosion on 1990s hulls, and keel bolt inspection after two decades of club use. Racing inventories (carbon spinnaker gear, rod rigging) affect price but not insurance agreed value unless documented. Nordic buyers should compare asking price against documented rigging, rudder bearing service, and keel bolt surveys — cosmetic refreshes rarely replace deferred structural maintenance. Expect 75,000–190,000 kr annual baseline in Swedish marinas, plus racing sail budgets if active in one-design fleets. FairHelm tracks X-362 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 cockpit or new plotter does not cancel unknown rigging age, rudder bearing play, or moisture at chainplates. That is why survey discipline matters more here than brand romance. For Nordic ownership, X-362 works as a capable coastal and short offshore cruiser 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 X-362, build a simple survey scorecard: rudder post bearing play, chainplate corrosion mapping, keel bolt inspection, standing rigging age with invoices, and deck hardware bedding. X-Yachts owner associations publish rigging and bearing guidance — use them when comparing two similarly priced hulls on Blocket.
