Description

The Rustler 36 is a classic bluewater cruising yacht with a long-standing reputation for strength, balance, and offshore capability. With her blue hull, teak decks, and wheel steering, she embodies the traditional Rustler aesthetic while offering a practical and confidence-inspiring platform for serious cruising. Because of this, the Rustler 36 continues to be highly sought after by experienced sailors. This Rustler 36, named ‘Young Rustler’ is now in her third ownership and has a well-documented history. She was previously sold through Red Ensign in 2017, and again to her current owners in 2022. As a result, her background and care history are well understood, which adds reassurance for prospective buyers. The yacht presents in the classic configuration, with teak decks and wheel steering, offering both security and comfort on longer passages. The deck layout supports safe movement forward, while the cockpit feels solid and well protected at sea. She benefits from a very strong equipment inventory, set up with offshore cruising in mind. Key features include Hydrovane wind self-steering, mast steps, and a Rutland wind generator. In addition, she has new standing rigging fitted in 2025, which is a major plus for future ownership and offshore planning. Power is provided by a 35hp engine, offering dependable propulsion when required. Anchoring is well supported by an electric windlass, which makes handling ground tackle easier and safer, especially when cruising short-handed. Overall, this Rustler 36 has been equipped and maintained for real cruising rather than marina use. Because many key systems are already in place, she offers a straightforward and well-prepared ownership proposition. The Rustler 36 is a design we know extremely well, and this boat is a very honest and appealing example. She feels solid and purposeful, with the kind of equipment list you expect to see on a yacht that has genuinely been used and enjoyed offshore. The Hydrovane, new standing rigging, and overall setup show that she has been prepared with serious cruising in mind. Having sold her previously, it’s good to see her continuing to be well cared for, and she comes across as a yacht that is ready for more miles. For anyone looking for a properly equipped Rustler with a clear history and real pedigree...
