Broker's Comments

The Rustler 31 has an excellent reputation as a capable seaworthy yacht. This lovely boat has been owned from new by her current owners. They have reluctantly placed her on the market due to health reasons.
This yacht is a second generation Rustler 31, the mast and its supporting bulkhead are further aft than in the 1960's version giving a larger foresail and smaller main. This also enables the construction of a self-contained heads compartment.
The owners launched her in 1983 and prior to this they applied three coats of two pot epoxy to the hull below the waterline as a preventative measure against Osmosis. Since then she spends 5-6 months ashore each year.
This yacht was fitted out with excellent quality fittings throughout. For example all winches are Lewmar self-tailing, the sails are Gowen Ocean, the spars are Kemp no expense was spared and this is now clearly demonstrated by the condition of the boat today.
If you are considering a go anywhere safe and seaworthy cruiser this one should be on your shortlist.
These boat details are subject to contract.
