The Rustler 31 holds a prestigious position in British maritime history as the vessel that effectively launched the Rustler legacy. Designed in 1962 by the esteemed naval architect Kim Holman of Holman & Pye, the yacht was originally commissioned by Ancasta Marine. While the modern Rustler Yachts Ltd. is now synonymous with the 36 and 42, the 31 established the blueprint for what a "Rustler" should be: a rugged, deepkeeled offshore cruiser capable of contending with the unpredictable waters of the English Channel and beyond. With a production run that spanned from the mid1960s into the 1970s, approximately 60 hulls were produced, most featuring a heavyduty glassreinforced plastic (GRP) construction that has allowed many to remain in active service today. It is widely regarded as a larger, more powerful sibling to the Twister 28, another iconic Holman design, offering increased displacement and a more purposeful stance for bluewater voyaging.
