| Description | Good looking Niels Jeppensen design which has been carefully updated by this owner. Huge amounts of fleet sailing yacht for your . SPECIFICATIONPres s Review/Background:A stylish cruiser with a racing pedigreeDesigner Niels Jeppesen, his brother Lars, and Birger Hansen formed X-Yachts 25 years ago and they still own and operate the company today. Their first success was the X-79, an 8-meter one-design that competed for market share with the J/24 and, at one point, became the largest class in Northern Europe. Although X-Yachts has had great success in grand prix racing, the company has recently focused on producing a line of, yep you guessed it, high-quality performance cruisers. Today X-Yachts builds 11 models ranging from 30 to 60 feet. The 382 was created as a little sister to the popular 412. In fact, Niels Jeppesen was so pleased with the look of the 382, he used its lines as the basis for the highly successful IMX 38.X-Yachts are constructed in accordance with the European CE certification, a new set of standards that builders all over the world are beginning to comply with more frequently. The 382's hull and deck are cored with Divinycell foam while a solid laminate is used to support the keel bolts, engine beds, propeller, rudder stuffing boxes and all through-hull fittings. A steel-reinforced, bilge girder system (or floors) provides excellent transverse hull support, makes a strong base for the keel attachment and offers a stout maststep. These floors are galvanized steel encased in fiberglass. The hull and deck are bonded with polyester resin and through-bolted on 4-inch centers.The triple-spreader, tapered aluminum spar is supported by discontinuous rod rigging. Single-pod chainplates are tied into the structural grid by means of a stout tie rod. A permanent hydraulic backstay and runners are standard. The babystay has a Wichard Pelican adjuster. The genoa tracks are located well inboard, just along the trunkhouse, and provide extremely narrow sheeting angles. The genoa sheet leads can be adjusted under load from the cockpit. An aluminum toerail is used for various spinnaker leads.The workmanship below is typically Scandinavian and the high-quality joinerwork creates a warm, friendly atmosphere without feeling pretentious. Bulkheads are marine plywood with teak veneers and finished with a satin varnish. There is adequate storage throughout, primarily above and behind the settees in the saloon.The most comfortable, easily handled yacht possible which, in the right hands, is capable of winning regattas against the toughest competition."Constru ction: RCD Status: Our understanding is that the yacht is exempt from the essential safety requirements of Directive 94/25EC (Recreational Craft Directive) as she was built and placed into use within the EU prior to 1998.Hull, Deck & Superstructure Construction: GRP hull.
