HALLBERG-RASSY HR382 FOR SALE
YEAR BUILT: 1987 - HULL No. 40
READY TO SAIL IMMEDIATELY
CURRENTLY AT PUNTA ALA, GROSSETO (TUSCANY, ITALY)
My wife (64) and I (79) have sailed throughout the Mediterranean and crossed the Atlantic Ocean twice. Now, for reasons of age, the time has come for us to step ashore.
The boat has been very carefully maintained over the years and is fully equipped and ready to sail. I have owned her for 30 years and know her entire history first-hand.
KEY FEATURES AND MAJOR WORKS CARRIED OUT
- Engine: Completely rebuilt to as-new condition in 2006. The engine was originally removed in order to replace the fuel tank; since it was already out of the boat, I took the opportunity to have it completely rebuilt in a professional workshop. At the time of the rebuild the engine had 4,641 hours; it now has 8,335 hours, corresponding to 3,694 running hours since the rebuild. Since then it has been regularly used and fully serviced every year by myself, using only genuine Volvo parts. The engine is in perfect working order, starts immediately and produces no black smoke. Last full service: June 2026.
- RINA inspection: Carried out in 2024. Next inspection due: March 2029.
- Antifouling: Two coats of self-polishing antifouling and anode replacement, August 2025. No signs of osmosis found.
- Autohelm 6000 autopilot: Actuator replaced in 2023 due to normal wear.
- 2 stainless-steel diesel tanks, total capacity 330 liters: The main tank was removed and replaced with a new one in 2006 following diesel leaks caused by metal corrosion.
- Teak deck: Completely renewed in 2019, using 10 mm teak, by a private craftsman. Bonded in place without screws.
- Full winter cockpit enclosure (2018): Nordic-style enclosure with a removable rigid frame, covering the entire cockpit: a practical “extra room” providing greater comfort in the marina even in cold weather.
- Mast and standing rigging: The mast was replaced in 2013 after the previous mast broke when a shroud pulled out of the swaged fitting at the turnbuckle. The mast broke at the level of the second spreader and caused no structural damage to the boat; the chainplates were carefully inspected. The new mast, supplied from La Rochelle, was installed by a specialized technician. At the same time, the entire standing rigging, all turnbuckles and the guardrails were replaced.
- Electric marine toilet: Installed in 2022 to replace the original Blake toilet, which could sometimes be complicated to operate.
- Saloon: Sofas and cushions completely renewed to a high standard in 2024.
- Offshore sailing experience: Atlantic crossing and return in 2001/2002. This is not simply a boat equipped for offshore sailing: she has actually done it.
- Ready to sail: This is a boat ready to sail, maintained for sailing rather than simply prepared for sale. I have owned her for 30 years and know first-hand her history and every major intervention carried out.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - FAQ
- Why was the engine completely rebuilt in 2006?
In 2006 it was necessary to remove the engine in order to remove and replace the main diesel tank, which had developed leaks due to corrosion. Since the engine was already out of the boat, I decided to take the opportunity to have it completely rebuilt in a specialized workshop. The rebuild was therefore not the result of an engine failure. Since then it has run for 3,694 hours and has been regularly used and serviced every year.
- Why was the mast replaced in 2013?
In 2013, during normal sailing on a broad close-hauled course in about 18 knots of wind, the windward shroud pulled out of the swaged fitting at the turnbuckle, causing the mast to break at the level of the second spreader. These were entirely normal sailing conditions for a boat of this type. I ordered a new mast from La Rochelle, which was subsequently installed by a specialized technician. At the same time, I had the entire standing rigging, all turnbuckles and the guardrails replaced.
- Did the mast failure cause any structural damage to the boat?
No. There was no structural damage. The chainplates were inspected with particular care and showed no damage.
- Why was the teak deck renewed?
After more than thirty years, the original teak had reached the end of its useful life. In 2019 I therefore decided to renew the entire deck using 10 mm teak. The work was carried out by a private craftsman, with the teak bonded in place without screws.
5.Why the through-hull fittings? Replaced after signs of corrosion were found on two of the eight. As a precaution, all eight fittings and their valves were replaced with brass components.
- Has the boat ever had osmosis problems?
There are currently no signs of osmosis. The hull has been checked regularly during annual maintenance and antifouling work.
- What work would need to be carried out now?
The boat is currently ready to sail and I am not aware of any major work essential for normal use. As with any boat of this age, the new owner may naturally decide on updates or improvements according to their own sailing programme. The life raft service is currently due for renewal and this is already stated in the specification.
- Why are you selling the boat after 30 years?
For a very simple reason: the age of the owner, not the age of the boat. After thirty years of sailing in the Mediterranean and two Atlantic crossings, the time has come for us to step ashore. The decision to sell is not due to any problem with the boat.
