X-382

The X-382 is one of Northern Europe's most visible Danish performance cruisers. Designed by Niels Jeppesen for X-Yachts at Hirtshals and built from 1995 to 2003, roughly 141 hulls left the yard — an 11.7 m masthead sloop that bridged the gap between X-362 club racing and larger X-4xx offshore cruisers. With 3.74 m beam and about 6,084 kg displacement, the model suits couples and families cross-shopping X-362, Hallberg-Rassy 34, and Dehler 36 when Danish build quality and liveaboard volume matter alongside sailing performance. Jeppesen drew a stiffer, more voluminous hull than the X-362 — masthead rig, deeper interior, and construction that reads as a "big boat" feel within a manageable 38-foot footprint. One hundred forty-one hulls keep the type identifiable on Blocket and Danish brokerage sites while survey comparables follow X-Yachts family practice from the 1990s. Listings attract buyers stepping up from X-332 or X-362 who want more interior without moving to X-412 pricing. Survey focus: rudder post bearing play, chainplate bedding on 1990s decks, rod-and-wire rigging documentation, and keel bolt inspection after two decades of use. Nordic buyers should compare asking price against documented rigging, heating upgrades, and saildrive service — cosmetic refreshes rarely replace deferred structural maintenance. Expect 82,000–210,000 kr annual baseline in Swedish marinas with realistic technical reserves. FairHelm tracks X-382 listings because these hulls trade steadily 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 saloon 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-382 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-382, build a simple survey scorecard: rudder post bearing play, chainplate bedding and moisture mapping, keel bolt inspection, standing rigging documentation, and heating system service. X-Yachts owner associations 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.
