Description

Another cruising wonder from the stable of Stephen Jones. First launched back in 1999, the Rustler 42 marked the start of a slightly new direction for Rustler as well as a long-standing relationship with Rustler and Stephen Jones. The design ethos was to create something which was classic looking but with a modern twist and the result was a lovely yacht that sails well and beautifully in all conditions. Several have circumnavigated, and excelled in offshore races, such as the Azores and back. Its testament to what a great boat model this is, in that 2024 marks her quarter century in production, and each one built is an owner’s original. While there are always several kept at Rustler in Falmouth, others are American, Canadian, New Zealand and Australian owned and based. The Rustler 42 is of course a classic looking yacht with a high bow and elegant sheerline leading aft to an overhanging transom. Her coach roof is low, maintaining her elegant look but it is long and wide creating plenty of space below decks. Below the water she has an encapsulated fin keel and large skeg hung rudder, enhancing her grip on the water and delivering fantastic upwind performance. The rig setup is powerful but easily handled by a couple, and is cutter rigged as standard, giving a huge range of sail plan options. The 42 bares all the Rustler ethos and philosophy first seen in the rugged Rustler 36, including the well-regarded sea kindly motion. Rig choices such as Carbon, or in mast furling and powered headsail furling are available. Below decks, you descend the companionway to the very well thought through galley to port which has been designed to be the perfect space for cooking at sea. Opposite the galley on the starboard side is the forward facing proper sized chart table. Every detail is thought through. Aft of the chart table is a pilot berth and the day heads. The pilot berth comes with drawers and storage underneath. The heads are also a wet room, practically located at the bottom of the companionway and with specific storage for wet weather gear. Moving forward you have the magnificent saloon which can comfortably seat 8 around the beautifully hand-crafted drop-leaf table. Plenty of stowage all around the saloon with specific book, bottle and glass storage and lee-cloths to port and starboard seats fitted as standard. The master cabin is forward and has a large double V berth with ample stowage beneath. Being the master, the cabin has an en-suite which has its own separate shower. The cabin also features a vanity unit and seat! Being a two-cabin yacht, her 2nd cabin is aft and entered aft of the galley. There is plenty of headroom and stowage as to be expected from these fine cruising yachts. Systems size, solar panels, Lithium batteries, fuel cells and hydro generators are becoming popular, and the 42 has been built as a hybrid. Like all Rustlers, you can choose from a different wood, layouts, fabrics, and they are happy to incorporate owner’s specific custom details.
