<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><span><p></p><h5></h5><p>Design and Pedigree</p>
<p>The Rustler 36, built in 1990, is a classic long-keel cruising yacht that blends traditional craftsmanship with thoughtful modern sailing design. Built for serious passage-making, the Rustler 36 has earned a strong reputation for elegance, seaworthiness, and comfort. Because of this pedigree, she remains one of the most respected British bluewater cruisers of her size.</p>
<p>Hull and Construction</p>
<p>The Rustler 36 features encapsulated lead ballast and robust hull construction, which contribute to her reassuring stability at sea. This design gives the yacht a predictable and confidence-inspiring motion, especially in heavier conditions. As a result, she is widely known for handling adverse weather with ease.</p>
<p>Sailing Characteristics</p>
<p>Under sail, the Rustler 36 is steady, balanced, and rewarding. The long-keel configuration supports excellent tracking and directional stability, which reduces fatigue on longer passages. This makes her particularly well suited to offshore cruising and extended time at sea.</p>
<p>Engine and Mechanical</p>
<p>‘Galliard’ has been lovingly maintained and sensibly upgraded by her current owners. She is fitted with a new Yanmar engine installed in 2021, providing reliable and efficient propulsion. In addition, a new bow thruster fitted in 2023 improves close-quarters handling, particularly in marinas and confined harbours.</p>
<p>Comfort and Onboard Systems</p>
<p>Comfort aboard is well catered for, with Eberspächer diesel heating, hot pressurised water, shore power, and upgraded navigation electronics. Together, these systems support comfortable cruising in a wide range of conditions and extend the practical sailing season.</p>
<p>Condition and Readiness</p>
<p>The yacht has been freshly antifouled and is presented ready for immediate use. Because key systems have already been addressed, ‘Galliard’ offers a straightforward and reassuring ownership proposition.</p>
<p>Location and Photography</p>
<p>‘Galliard’ is currently afloat in Lymington and available for viewing by appointment.<br>
More photographs coming soon.</p>
