Rustler 36

Designed by the renowned British firm Holman & Pye and built by Rustler Yachts in the UK, this classic cruising sailboat represents traditional British yacht design at its finest. With production running from 1980 and 100 hulls completed, the Rustler 36 has earned a reputation as a serious offshore cruiser built to handle challenging conditions. The boat's long keel configuration with transom-hung rudder provides exceptional tracking and seaworthiness, making it ideally suited for extended offshore passages and coastal cruising. The substantial displacement of 16,805 pounds and generous ballast of 7,619 pounds create a stiff, stable platform that inspires confidence in heavy weather. This traditional hull design prioritizes safety and comfort over speed, reflected in the conservative comfort ratio of 36.18. The masthead sloop rig with 693 square feet of sail area provides adequate power while remaining manageable for a small crew. Construction is solid fiberglass, built to withstand the rigors of blue water sailing. With a capsize screening formula of 1.72, the design falls well within accepted parameters for offshore work. The 29-horsepower auxiliary engine provides reliable backup power for maneuvering in tight quarters or motoring through calms.
