Broker Remarks

Brokers Remarks:
The Rustler 31 is a classic, she has elegant lines and is a proven seagoing vessel. She has an encapsulated long keel with a high ballast ratio and heavy displacement, she is perfect for long-distance sailing as she will tackle most sea conditions comfortably.
This Rustler 31 has been well cared for, the owner has maintained her to a good standard, she had the engine professionally rebuilt in 2016 

Owners Remarks:
This Rustler 31 was under one owner until 2011 when she was purchased by myself the current owner and brought back from the River Exe to Plymouth Sound. Considerable upgrade work has been undertaken but there is still some work to do to finish her off.
The boat is designed for long-distance cruising when access to mains electricity would be limited.
