Overview
1990 Rustler 36 “Galliard” a classic long-keel cruiser that beautifully blends traditional craftsmanship with modern sailing design. Built for serious passage-making, she combines elegance, seaworthiness, and comfort in equal measure. With encapsulated lead ballast, robust construction, and a reputation for handling heavy weather with ease, the Rustler 36 is a proven bluewater yacht.
“Galliard” has been lovingly maintained and upgraded by her current owners, featuring a new Yanmar engine (2021), new bow thruster (2023), and a host of cruising comforts including Eberspacher heating, hot pressurised water, shore power, and upgraded navigation electronics. Ready to go, she has been freshly anti-fouled and is afloat in Lymington awaiting her next adventure.
