Rustler 31

Rustler 31

Description

The Rustler 31 is a distinguished 31.42-foot offshore cruising yacht designed by Kim Holman in the mid-1960s as a development of his earlier and highly successful Twister 28. Over the decades the design has built a reputation as a fast and safe offshore passage maker with examples scattered all over the globe. Built by Anstey Yachts Ltd. (UK) starting in 1965, approximately 50 units were produced before the molds were sold to various other builders. The Rustler 31 is a long keeled classic offshore cruising yacht which is equally at home on open waters or exploring island anchorages along our rugged West coast. It has a reputation as a fast and safe passage maker, easily handled and with a feeling of a solid, purposeful yacht.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
