What the fleet has seen

The X Yachts X-382, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The X Yachts X-382 is a 11.7-meter masthead sloop designed by Niels Jeppesen and built by X Yachts from 1995 to 2003. It features a fin keel with a spade rudder, a 2.1-meter draft, and displaces 6501 kg. The model received a keel and rudder redesign in 1999 and holds CE-directive 94/25/CE category A certification. Professional rigger Didrik Godaker recommends that owners of boats like the X-382 perform annual rig inspections, focusing on terminals and shorter wires such as lower shrouds and diagonals, which experience high stress.14:05 A single broken strand in a wire indicates the entire standing rig needs replacement.16:25 Godaker advises against DIY rigging repairs due to the need for specialized tools and professional terminal pressing.11:58
