The Irwin 382, often referred to as the Irwin 38 Mark II Center Cockpit, represents the peak of Ted Irwin’s "cruising value" design philosophy during the midtolate 1980s. Produced between 1984 and 1988, this model was an evolution of the wildly successful Irwin 37, aiming to provide even more interior volume and amenities in a hull that remained manageable for a cruising couple. Unlike the contemporary Irwin 38 Citation, which was an aftcockpit performance cruiser, the 382 was built specifically for the liveaboard and charter markets, prioritizing stability and cabin space over raw racing speed. According to the Irwin Yachts technical manuals, the vessel measures 40 feet in overall length (LOA), utilizing the extra length for a more substantial swim platform and refined hull lines compared to its predecessor.
