x yachts 382

A stylish cruiser with a racing pedigree

The X-382, a stylish cruiser-racer from X-Yachts, highlights some of the philosophical differences between American and European builders. With several notable exceptions, American builders seem to be making either dedicated cruisers or racers. The term "performance cruiser" is bandied about, but America's version is usually a good-sailing, easily handled boat with a comfortable, or even luxurious interior, that could also turn up for a Wednesday night race. European builders like X-Yachts of Haderslev, Denmark, disguise cruising boats in true racing hulls. The concept of the cruiser-racer is alive and well in Europe. Innovations from IMS boats quickly turn up on cruising sisterships, and go-fast features can be found on European performance cruisers.

Designer 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.

I tested the 382 on a perfect Chesapeake afternoon. The winds were steady, around 12 knots, and there wasn't much chop. From the photo boat I examined the straight sheer, clean entry and sleek transom as the boat eased along under headsail alone. The 382 has a relatively long LWL of 31 feet, 9 inches, (LOA is 37 feet, 9 inches) yet the bow still has a nice bit of rake. The reverse transom cleverly accommodates what X-Yachts calls the bathing platform, a nicely proportioned swim step that doesn't protrude off the stern like a back porch. Below the waterline the 382 has a narrow forefoot and flat quarter buttocks, with a 6-foot, 6-inch keel squeezed in between. The displacement of 14,333 pounds is moderate, and 6,174 pounds of lead provides a ballast-displacement ratio of 43 percent, which helps the boat stand up in the stiff breezes common to the North Sea.

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. I have been assured that rust or metal corrosion does not become a problem over time. The antimony-hardened lead keel is secured with stainless bolts. The laminated rudder blade has a solid aluminum stock, which strikes me as an improper material for the job. The hull and deck are bonded with polyester resin and through-bolted on 4-inch centers.

I climbed aboard over the starboard rail and settled into the cockpit. There were five of us aboard, but still plenty of elbow room forward of the helm and mainsheet traveler. The seat backs are angled for comfort and lower back support, and a large sail locker to port has deep drain channels and a serious overlap to keep green water out. The single-lever throttle control is recessed into the coaming to avoid accidental bumps. The steering system uses Whitlock's excellent rack-and-pinion technology, and the standard wheel has a 38-inch diameter, although peering around the optional dodger naturally reduced visibility. Nearly all sail controls are led aft to banks of rope clutches on both sides of the cabintrunk with two Lewmar 40 AST winches providing assistance. The primaries are Lewmar 46 ASTs.

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 boom is set up for two reef points, and a furling headstay system is standard. Of course if you plan to race the boat seriously, a foil system on the headstay is the logical alternative. The stainless stem fitting has an undersized single anchor roller. There is, however, a sizable anchor locker forward. Double lifelines are standard and stanchion bases are attached to the toerail, a trend that makes assembly easier but not one that I like. Our test boat was outfitted with a handsome teak deck, and although it offered good traction, and the application system uses as few fasteners as possible, I might sidestep this $14,000 option, saving weight, maintenance and money.

The X-382 offers three different interior plans. I prefer the classic version that I tested. It features a forward double, conventional saloon with a drop-leaf centerline table, and an aft galley with the nav station opposite. The owner's double cabin is to starboard and a single spacious head is aft, to port. The other, "modern" versions push the galley forward along the starboard side in the saloon and include an expanded table area. The two-cabin model has a head forward and aft, while the three-cabin, charter layout has a single head and two side-by-side doubles aft.

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. I would, however, prefer to see a few more access hatches in the sole. The galley in the classic version is an expanded L-shape, and is a secure place to work in a seaway. The counter tops have excellent fiddles. Two fairly shallow sinks and a three-burner gas stove are standard. A 53-gallon freshwater tank is standard, although a hot-water system is optional. The nav station is forward-facing in the classic version, with a comfortable seat and backrest. In the other versions, the nav station is athwartships with a swing-out seat and is not as comfortable a place to work. There is good ventilation throughout with eight opening portlights and two hatches. Three well-placed skylights allow a surprising amount of light below.

The standard power plant is a Yanmar saildrive, three-cylinder 30-horsepower diesel with a folding prop. The stainless steel fuel tank holds 26 gallons, providing a realistic motoring range of 250 to 300 miles for the easily driven X-382. I have mixed feelings about saildrives, although for a true performance boat they make sense. We motored briefly during our test and the boat moved smartly at 6 knots. Three 70-amp batteries with two dedicated for the house supply, are the heart of the electrical system.

I took the helm and was immediately impressed with the tight steering. Today's rack-and-pinion systems are not only bulletproof, but quite sensitive. We hardened the sheets, cranked the Banks roller-furling genoa to the tip of the spreaders and charged upwind. We were consistently topping 6 knots inside 40 degrees apparent with very little helm. I suspected the 382 might be a bit tender, but as the apparent wind hit 15 and 16 knots the boat felt firm in the water. Tacking was crisp, and we accelerated rapidly after each tack. Cracking off onto a close reach, we adjusted the headsail leads and eased past 6.5 knots as the boat found her stride. The motion was smooth, the 382 slicing through bay chop effortlessly. X-Yachts' racing background showed in the small things. The leads were all fair, particularly the halyards, which when led aft often have too much friction for smooth operation. Sail and rig adjustments were easily accomplished, including setting up the runners and dumping the traveler. Predictably the wind died as the afternoon wore on, which at least gave us an opportunity to handle the boat under power.

Twenty years ago we would have labeled the X-382 a racer-cruiser. Today, it's a performance cruiser-racer. By any name the 382 is a fine-performing boat that should live up to X-Yachts' lofty expectationsÑthat is, "to have the most comfortable, easily handled yacht possible which, in the right hands, is capable of winning regattas against the toughest competition."

THE ULTIMATE 38’ CRUISER / RACER FROM X-YACHTS OF DENMARK

DETAILS ON DECK he X-382 MK II is perfection in every detail. The sliding hatch garage has been reshaped to allow an optional canvas stow-away spray dodger that folds down completely flush with the coach roof, An integral canvas cover then zips elegantly round the stowed dodger. The handrails, mooring cleats and dodger frames are now in stainless steel. The rest is as before - perfected for easy handling.

he X-382 comes in either a Classic Version with longitudinal main cabin berths, 2 additional double cabins, and I large toilet/shower compartment or in a Modem Version with a sofa arrangement and a longitudinal galley in the main cabin, The Modern Version offers either a 2 or a 3 sleeping cabin solution with one respectively two head compartments - see photos below. For all 3 interior layouts the level of quality and the many details are the same - finest teak veneers, laminated handrails, and tabletop surroundings throughout,

NIELS JEPPESEN EXPLAINS ABOUT THE X-382 MK I I he X-382 was designed and developed back in 1993 as a natural baby sister to the X-412, which originally was introduced in 1990. Both the X-382 and the X-4 12 been updated in small detail since their early birth, X-382 MK II has been introduced principally to take advantage of significant developments in keel and rudder design. The tendency over the years has been for keels to have an even deeper centre of gravity. This lends better stability (for stability read sail carrying capability), thus ensuring improved performance in medium and fresh...

X-382 is a 38 ′ 5 ″ / 11.7 m monohull sailboat designed by Niels Jeppesen and built by X-Yachts between 1991 and 2003.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Shallow draft: 5.58’. (keel & rudder re-design in 1999.) CE-directive 94/25/CE category A.

2001 X-Yachts 382 Sail Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com What do we know about this boat? 1. It is supposed to have a baby stay and check stays. The broker says they are there for fine tuning and performance but not needed if you don't want to. Does that sound right? 2. Build quality? 3. Accommodations for a couple or two couples for a week or two. 4. Yanmar saildrive? 5. What else should someone know about this boat?  

1. Yes, it's masthead rig 2. X-yachts is a Danish builder with good reputation. 3. Read more Here https://www.x-yachts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/X-382-MK-II-brochure-januar-2001.pdf X-382 4. Some hate it, many European builders use it  

We have an older (1989) X-342 and are very happy with the general build quality. The keel & rig are tied into a steel subfloor grid that seems extremely solid and as far as I can tell they did not use plywood as a core material. Interior work is nice (from the pictures, the boat you are looking at is beautiful below). We do have a baby stay and check stays but have not used them yet - my understanding was that they'd be most useful in heavy air. Either the V-berth or the aft cabin are big enough for a couple and I'd bet the ones on the X-382 are likely larger. At 6' 1" i have standing headroom in the center of the salon but not up in front. There is not much information out there on the X-boats. Nothing like what's available for the more common makes. If you find a good general source please post it.

Either the V-berth or the aft cabin are big enough for a couple and I'd bet the ones on the X-382 are likely larger. At 6' 1" i have standing headroom in the center of the salon but not up in front. There is not much information out there on the X-boats. Nothing like what's available for the more common makes. If you find a good general source please post it. Click to expand...

Pretty boat. And fast with that 72 rating. Looks like it has been primarily raced. The deep keel would be a deal killer for me.  

I was worried about the deep keel myself. Looks like you are in LIS like me. Where exactly couldn't you go around here with the x boat that you currently go with your boat?  

Hey, I like X Yachts. Nice boats. However, I like the Bene 40.7 you listed earlier. The sails on the X shots are 10 years or more old. The sails on the Bene are newer. The Bene is bigger and cheaper. The deep draft will stop you from sailing into Northport Britannia Yachting center. Norwalk will be tough. Forget about Clinton CT, or Mattituck NY. Otherwise you can get about anywhere. Barry  

I saw the boat today and was very impressed. I really liked that it is fast but wow the rig is complicated. It is original and I can only imagine what it would cost to replace the standing rigging. Things I don't like. draft to deep rig too complicated tricky to get bimini and dodger setup right no gps no anchor windless Can't get behind the wheel without climbing on cockpit seats. Yanmar saildrive Top of budjet Has not been used in three years Things I do like fast PHRF 75 nice kitchen can be singlehanded from the cockpit. lots of storage not a 90's boat Seems well made under cockpit steering Did I mention it would be fast I think to get this boat ready for cruising would cost another 50k.

"Can't get behind the wheel without climbing on cockpit seats." I looked at a Bene First that had this issue. I crossed it off my list. Keep looking. Sounds like you are seduced by the speed potential. Look at something like a J37C. Lots of speed, available in shoal draft, etc.  

The X382 has discontinuous rod rigging and that is going to be very expensive to replace and expensive to tune. even if you do it your self it will be expensive in time. you can not tune while sailing and could take many trips up the mast to get the tune right. This boat may have a 75 PHRF but that is with a crew or 10 to handle all the strings. it is rigged back to the cockpit but not really a good shorthanded boat because of the very large mast head genoa would be a lot to handle and that is where it gets the speed. the boat will require frequent head sail changes for differing wind speeds. sail the boat with smaller jib in light air and it will sail like it is stuck to the bottom. It's a 2000 my wheel is bigger then yours race boat that the owner can not be competitive in against the newer planing hull boats that it would race against.  

Hey, If you're serious looking for a fast, comfortable, high performance boat, in the 36-40' range, from the early 2000's, you should consider the C&C 110, 115, and 121. I have sailed all three and own a 110. The 115 is very cool, basically a more modern, higher performing 110. There are always a number of these boats around. The 110 will be the cheapest and the 115 the most expensive Here's a quick yachtworld search for you: 2000 c&c (Sail) Boats For Sale Barry
