Powerful, comfortable and exceptionally well-behaved, the Rustler 44 is a welcome addition to the ranks of classic blue water cruising yachts.
Rustler yachts always feature their own distinctive character as well as being built to take the worst of the prevailing seas. The Rustler’s heavy weather characteristics are why many are sailed on long distance cruises. This is a fine-looking aft cockpit yacht, with moderate height to the topsides, a sweet sheer line, pleasing overhangs, and relatively low cabin top. A long fin keel combined with a huge skag-hung rudder gives huge reassurance in terms of safety.
Interior
The Rustler 44’s interior is spacious. A galley and two seating areas make both entertaining and living in harbour everything you desire. A raised chart table allows good views whilst sailing, which is complemented by the views from the raised saloon area.
Designed for living in safety and comfort under way, the accommodation is practical but attractive. Vast cabins make living onboard a comfortable experience.
