The Rustler 31 was designed by Kim Holman
in around 1964/65, and is generally regarded as a bigger version
of his famous earlier Twister
design, itself a development of the Folkboat type. Later a
larger version was built, the Rustler
36. There is a definite family resemblance between these
yachts, and they all share an excellent reputation for seaworthiness
and all-weather speed.
Rustler 31s have been built by a number of builders, including
Ansteys, Maltings and Orion Marine. Also, particularly in
later years, a substantial numbers of bare mouldings were
also sold for home completion.
