Rustler 36

‘Chimaera’ is a beautifully presented Rustler 36 from 2005 with some lovely upgrades for extended cruising or coastal hopping. The Holeman and Pye designed Rustler 36 has proven hugely popular. They are the go to option for the Golden Globe race, proving their indestructible build quality and turn of speed, this yacht will look after you no matter what the conditions throw at you!

Chimaera is a stunning example of a later built Rustler 36. The current owners have carried out many recent upgrades including standing and running rigging, a full suit of Penrose sails, Hydrovane, water maker, heating, batteries and many more. Equally at home on an ocean passage as she is coastal hopping from anchorage to anchorage, this beautiful Rustler 36 is now offered for sale and ready for her next adventure.
