Overview

Design and Capability

Designed by Stephen Jones and built by Rustler Yachts, this yacht was conceived to deliver fast, comfortable passage making alongside exceptional build quality. The result is a serious bluewater cruiser, designed to look after her crew offshore while remaining a refined and durable place to live aboard.

Specification and Equipment

This yacht is exceptionally well specified for long-distance cruising. Equipment includes a generator, inverter, diesel heating, bow thruster, electric halyard winch, and electric primary winches. In addition, she benefits from a comprehensive electronics package, davits, white sails from 2020, a cruising chute, recent batteries, recent standing rigging, and a dinghy with outboard. As a result, she presents as a complete and capable cruising package.

Condition and Recent Use

The yacht presents in very good condition throughout. She is returning after a Caribbean circuit, which confirms both her capability and her readiness for further offshore use. Importantly, she has been maintained with long-term cruising in mind rather than marina use.

Location and Viewing

She is currently located outside the Rustler factory in Falmouth, an ideal place to inspect a yacht of this pedigree.

A full picture folio is now available, with many additional high-resolution images on request.

Broker's Comments

This is a properly specified Rustler, set up exactly as you’d want for bluewater cruising. The equipment list is comprehensive without being cluttered, and the recent rigging, sails, and batteries remove the usual big-ticket questions. Coming back from the Caribbean tells you more than any brochure ever could, these boats are built to do miles, and this one clearly has. There’s nothing here that needs undoing or rethinking. If you’re looking for a serious cruising yacht that’s ready to go again, this is a very solid proposition.
