A short windward-leeward and a night at sea ask different things of a boat. Here is how this one does in each.

Where it wins and where it pays
Every boat is judged against its own measurements — length, weight, sail area. The quicker those say it should be, the more it has to deliver just to break even. Going fast is not enough: it has to go faster than its own numbers promised.
This one is at home going to windward. Windward-leeward courses give it more of what it is good at than a coastal race does.
Where it gains
Its best ground is to windward once it pipes up, where it outruns what it looks like on paper, and by a margin worth having.
Where it pays
It falls short off the wind when it blows, giving away time it never gets back. That is weight that has to be driven rather than released.
Above the line it delivers more than promised and gains on the fleet. Below, it falls short. Move the wind: plenty of boats sit on one side in the light and the other when it blows.
Full width is 0.4 kn either way.
At 10 knots this design makes back more than its rating asks on the upwind.

How they are set up
The range each sail spans across the fleet.
Nearly all carry a folding propeller. Crew weight is declared around 630 kg.
Rigging
X-382 rig and sail dimensions
A X-382 carries 13.40 m of mainsail hoist on a 4.46 m boom, a forestay 15.36 m above the deck and a 5.43 m bowsprit. Typical figures across the 12 boats measured under the current VPP, with the range each one spans.
Rig
Sails
The spinnaker spreads widest of all — 91 to 128 m² depending on bowsprit and set-up. Before ordering a sail, read the figure on your own measurement record rather than the typical one for the design.
