The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season.
The interior is like many other boats made of mahogany. Mahogany belongs to the hardwood species, known for being water-repellent and resistant to decay. It has an attractive wood grain and holds wood polish and varnish well.
The boat is equipped with a galley and 580.0 liter fresh water capacity.
Fin keel
The Hallberg-Rassy 382 is equipped with a fin keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a full 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.
Hallberg-Rassy 382 may be equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta MD30 diesel engine at 62 hp (46 kW). The speed is 8.0 knots.
The fuel tank has a capacity of 335.0 liters (88 US gallons, 73 imperial gallons).
