DESCRIPTION
The Rustler 36 needs no introduction. This go-anywhere Holman & Pye globetrotter is a proven ocean crossing machine, but also offers a superb proposition for safe coastal cruising.
'Orions Girl' is a good example, which benefits from Hydrovane self steering, recent standing rigging and a reliable Yanmar engine. She is a sailor's boat, with running rigging and steering systems designed for easy management from the cockpit.
The onboard safety inventory and systems provide a high degree of security, while the tankage and renewable power capabilities mean that she is ready for extended off-grid voyaging.
'Orions Girl' is afloat in Plymouth Yacht Haven and available to view by arrangement.
