The search results provide a good amount of information.
For Introduction:
- Model: Furia 382 Cruising
- Designer: Joubert-Nivelt
- Builder: Furia Yachts (formerly Drassanes Esportives S.A.)
- Purpose: Cruising (implied by "Cruising" in name, and Furia's reputation for comfortable cruising sailboats from builder article). Some results also mention "Regatta Boat", so it might have a performance-cruiser aspect, especially given its IOR roots.
For History and Design:
- Production start year: 1988
- Production end year: Not specified in, builder article says Furia closed in 1993. So production run was short, likely until 1993.
- Designer philosophy: The
notes
say "Based on a J/N IOR one ton 'Diva'". Search results confirm Diva was a Joubert/Nivelt IOR One Tonner from 1983. This points to a performance-oriented design philosophy. The builder article also mentions Joubert-Nivelt designs for Furia were known as "fast cruising sailboats." - Variations: Search results show a "Furia 382 REGATTA" alongside the "Furia 382 CRUISING", implying two versions with potentially different rigs or keels. SailboatData.com lists a Furia 382 Regatta with a slightly longer LOA (40.42 ft vs 38.88 ft for Cruising) and different Comfort Ratio/Capsize Screening Formula. The also mentions "Available with shallow keel. Draft: 4.63ft / 1.41m" for the Cruising version.
For Sailing Performance and Handling:
- Calculated Ratios:
- SA/Disp: 17.51 (moderate light-air performance)
- Bal/Disp: 0.388 (decent, but not exceptionally high stiffness/stability)
- Disp/LWL: 203.2 (moderately light, performance-oriented cruiser)
- Anecdotal descriptions: The search results mention "Furia 382 cruising" and "regatta boat", suggesting a blend of capabilities. No specific anecdotal handling descriptions directly from the search results, but the "fast cruising sailboats" description for Joubert-Nivelt designs and the IOR lineage imply good performance.
For Accommodations and Layout:
- has
max_headroom_ft
: null, so I must rely on search. - Search for "Furia 382 Cruising interior layout" or "Furia 382 review" did not yield specific detailed interior descriptions or diagrams in the snippets. There's a generic "8 Tips For a Great Cruising Boat Interior Arrangement" but it's not specific to the 382. This section will be challenging to elaborate on without more specific search results. I will need to be cautious and state if information is scarce.
For Owner's Perspectives:
- Search results show "Vela Opinion autorizada de capitanes sobre el FURIA 382" and "Vendo mi Furia 382 por que me ha salido la oportunidad de comprar otro barco", and "Common problems with 382's?" and "Buying a 382" from a Morgan 382 forum (which might be a different boat, need to double check, but the query was generic). The VLR.gg results are about a gaming team named Furia, which is irrelevant.
- The "Common problems with 382's?" and "Buying a 382" seem to refer to a Morgan 382, not the Furia 382. This highlights the need to be careful with search results.
- "La Taberna del Puerto" is a Spanish forum and mentions the Furia 382 directly. is a general opinion thread, and is a for-sale ad where the owner gives a reason for selling, which might contain some implied owner perspective. However, synthesizing "collective viewpoints" might be difficult with just a few forum snippets, especially in Spanish which I would need to interpret.
- Given the limited and non-direct results for "Furia 382 Cruising owner reviews", I might have to state that detailed owner perspectives are not readily available or keep this section very brief and general.
Revised Plan for Owner's Perspectives:
- The VLR.gg results are clearly about a gaming team, so I will ignore them.
- The Morgan 382 forum posts are about a different boat.
- The Spanish forum "La Taberna del Puerto" provides some limited direct context on the Furia 382. is titled "Authorized opinion of captains on the Furia 382" and is a "For Sale" post. These are insufficient to synthesize collective viewpoints or common problems/strengths. Thus, I will likely omit the "Owner's Perspectives" section as per the instructions ("This section should only be included if grounded search yields sufficient information.").
Revised Plan for Accommodations and Layout:
- The grounded search did not provide specific interior layouts or descriptions for the Furia 382 Cruising. I will have to state this limitation and keep the section brief.
I have all the necessary information or confirmed the lack of it for the sections. I will now proceed to generate the article.
