Overview
Something a little bit special……
A Rustler 36, hull number 118 in stunning condition. Built to withstand ocean crossings, Astraea has been highly refined with beautiful varnish work on deck and an immaculate interior.
This is a rare and exceptionally well-maintained Rustler 36. Astraea has benefited from meticulous professional care, long-term undercover storage, and regular upgrades. Equipped with an upgraded Nanni 37.5hp engine, bow thruster, quality electronics (Raymarine, AIS), a suite of sails including asymmetric spinnaker, blade sail and storm jib, as well as modern comforts like cabin heating and battery monitoring. Ideal for serious cruising and coastal passage-making with character and strength built in.
She resides in Ardfern, Scotland and is available for viewings.
