The Rustler 36 is a cruising yacht produced by Rustler Yachts of Falmouth. First produced in the early 1980s by Orion Marine,[1] the yacht is of modern GRP construction, but retains the well ballasted long keel and strong construction of the traditional British sailing yacht.[2] The high standard of construction and traditional highly seaworthy profile differentiate it from cheaper, more lightly built mass production yachts such as the Beneteau range.[3]

The Rustler 36 is the yacht most participants selected to use in the 2018 Golden Globe Race, with 6 of the 18 sailors sailing it.[4] Only 5 out of 18 boats finished the race, the winner was Jean-Luc Van Den Heede on the Rustler 36 Matmut, the second- and third-placed boats were also Rustler 36.
