Obviously a Rustler, from any angle! From her gentle ‘spoon’ bow, to her perfectly judged transom overhang. The silhouette above and below the waterline, is pure modern Rustler. Designer Stephen Jones has provided a fast hull and easily managed sail plan, combined with an accommodation layout which combines space and comfort with safety and seaworthiness. The forward hull shape provides the 37 with a gentle motion when going to windward in a choppy sea, without the discomfort of slamming into the waves. A lead antimony keel which is full encapsulated provides a low centre of gravity and a correspondingly stiff boat. The keel itself contains a deep bilge which prevents any water from running into the accommodation when the boat is heeled. A large semi balanced rudder supported and protected by a solid skeg makes the new Rustler a safe and easy boat to handle under sail or power – the overall effect is that the boat will maintain directional stability without the constant attention to the wheel that narrower fin keel designs require.
Construction
Hull and deck mouldings for the Rustler 37 are hand laid. All bulkheads and furniture joinery is fully glassed to the hull and deck. The lead antimony keel is fully encapsulated and the integral skeg is solid grp. This yacht is immensely strong - to look after you. Interior In common with all other Rustlers, the Rustler 37 has a superb cruising interior with high quality joinery. The layout offers space and comfort combined with practicality in a boat designed for offshore performance cruising. A forward facing chart table with instrument console and comfortable seating ensures safe working in rough conditions. Performance Designer Stephen Jones has a well deserved reputation for designing performance into Rustler yachts. The requirement for strength and comfort at sea need not automatically lead to a dull slow boat – she will dig-in, track well, and show a turn of speed which will delight all who sail her. The cockpit is designed for ease of use and comfort, both under sail and ashore. All primary controls are within reach of the helm position. A sloop rig is standard (she can be rigged as a cutter as an option), as is single line reefing for the mainsail, led back to the cockpit, which completes the picture. Off the wind, confidence is gained via the large rudder, hung from a sold skeg on a huge stainless steel stock, giving fingertip control in even the heaviest weather. A powerful Nanni diesel, with conventional shaft drive, is located in a sound deadened engine box. This is placed well forward to help with efficient weigh distribution, and offers excellent access. Performance under engine is smooth and quiet, her manoeuvrability will flatter, not frighten, when caught in a tight spot.
