She will be fitted with a Yanmar engine, along with a modern lithium electrical system, ensuring efficient, future-proof onboard power. The specification has been chosen to support long-term offshore cruising in comfort.</p>

<p>Build Process and Owner Involvement<br>
The buyer will be fully involved throughout the build process, with guidance from both the yard and brokerage team. This allows the yacht to be tailored to individual cruising plans while benefiting from Rustler’s experience and proven approach.</p>
