Internationally renowned-Rustler Yachts have been built in Cornwall in the UK for 30 years using high quality materials and a combination of traditional skills and cutting edge technology. They are one of the few remaining yacht builders using these methods of construction anywhere in the World.

“Reprieve” was launched in the UK in August 2017 in the UK from where it cruised the Mediteranean for a season before being shipped to Australia, and has a comprehensive list of factory and factory fitted options.

With the navy-blue hull and teak decks with varnished cappings this is a yacht that turns heads. It's a surprisingly roomy and spacious 37 footer that will appeal to the true yachtie that is looking for a sea-kindly luxury yacht that will cruise in comfort.

Construction is hand-laid glass with all of the 18mm bulkheads and furniture glassed to the hull for strategic stiffening. The keel is single piece lead cast that is lowered into the hull/keel moulding, while the hull to deck join is glassed and bolted. There is a bosuns locker aft of the anchor locker with a watertight bulkhead between it and the interior accommodation There are three cockpit lockers, the centre one being a gas locker.

Sails are touring Polyester with a 3-reef mainsail and headsail with Furlex furler. There is also an unused #4 headsail that fits onto the inner forestay, and a once used Assymetric spinnaker.

Down below the saloon features a U-shaped dinette to port with a lee-cloth so that the port side seat can be used as a sea berth, and to starboard is a lounge seat and full-sized forward-facing nav’ station. There is a trotter box forward of the seat so that this can also be used as a sea berth.

The large wrap-around galley has lots of good stowage and even comes with custom crockery fitted by the factory for galley storage. There is one big deep stainless sink and an adjacent smaller one, good counter space and a top loading fridge.
