Overview

Design and Pedigree

The Rustler 36 needs little introduction. Designed by Holman & Pye, she is a true go-anywhere cruiser with a long-established reputation for ocean crossings and serious passagemaking. At the same time, the Rustler 36 also offers a reassuring and capable platform for safe coastal cruising, which makes her a very versatile yacht.

Ownership History

‘Dwynwen’ was commissioned in 2000 and has been carefully maintained by just two owners from new. Because of this consistent ownership, her condition reflects steady, knowledgeable care rather than short-term use.

Rig and Sail Handling

The yacht is rigged as a Bermudan sloop with a detachable inner forestay, which adds flexibility offshore. Sail handling is straightforward, with a fully battened mainsail, furling genoa, cruising chute, and storm jib. In addition, she benefits from lazy jacks, a Selden gas rod kicker, and a telescopic spinnaker pole, all of which support safe and efficient sail management.

All running rigging is led aft through Spinlock clutches to Andersen halyard winches, which makes short-handed sailing far more manageable.

Recent Upgrades

Important recent upgrades include all new standing rigging in 2024, along with a full suite of new canvas, also fitted in 2024. This includes a sprayhood, mainsail cover, cockpit cover, and dodgers. As a result, both safety and comfort on deck have been significantly improved.

Navigation and Instrumentation

Navigation equipment is comprehensive and well proven. Systems include a Furuno GP-30/35 GPS navigator, Furuno 1621 Mk2 radar, and Furuno FM-2721 VHF radio. These are supported by a Raytheon ST5000 Plus autopilot, linked to ST60 multi-function instruments for depth, speed, and wind. In addition, she is fitted with a Raytheon echo sounder and a Solent B.P.S.C. compass, providing reliable redundancy.

Cruising Capability

Overall, ‘Dwynwen’ represents a well-balanced and properly equipped Rustler 36. Because of her design, rig, and recent upgrades, she remains well suited to offshore passages while still being comfortable and confidence-inspiring for everyday cruising.

Condition and Location

The yacht is currently afloat on the River Dart and available for viewing by arrangement.

Broker's Comments

The Rustler 36 is one of those yachts that experienced sailors instinctively trust, and ‘Dwynwen’ is a very good example of the type. She feels solid, balanced, and purposeful underfoot, with the kind of layout that clearly supports offshore sailing. The recent standing rigging and new canvas are big positives, and the navigation setup reflects a boat that has been equipped to be used properly, not just admired. For anyone looking for a proven Holman & Pye cruiser that can cross oceans yet still feel comfortable and manageable day to day, this Rustler 36 deserves serious consideration.
