Hull

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.

Interior

The interior is like many other boats made of mahogany.
The boat is equipped with a galley.

Keel

The Hallberg-Rassy 382 is equipped with a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel.

The keel is made of lead. Compared with iron, lead has the advantage of being 44% heavier, which allows a smaller keel and hence less water resistance and higher speed.

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 1.84 - 1.94 meter (6.04 - 6.34 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Engine

Hallberg-Rassy 382 is typically equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta MD30 diesel engine at 62.0 hp (46 kW).

The fuel tank has a capacity of 335.0 liters (88 US gallons, 73 imperial gallons).

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

Stability and Safety

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Hallberg-Rassy 382 is 1.76, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

Immersion rate

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Hallberg-Rassy 382 is about 283 kg/cm, alternatively 1586 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 283 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1586 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
