The Rustler Yachts 42 is a Stephen Jones-designed cutter-rigged sailboat built by Rustler Yachts since 1999, featuring a fin keel with a skeg-hung rudder. With an LOA of 12.8 meters, a beam of 4.1 meters, and a displacement of 11,793 kg, the Rustler 42 is frequently used for long-distance deliveries and offshore passages. Aboard Halcyon Yachts, a Rustler 42 completed a 1,900-mile transatlantic delivery from Bermuda to Horta, Azores, in 13 days, maintaining an average speed of 6.2 knots and reaching 12.5 knots while surfing downwind in Force 7 to 8 winds and 5-to-6-meter seas.21:20 The crew managed heavy weather with a fourth reef in the mainsail and a staysail, using a Hydrovane for self-steering.13:36 Another delivery from St Lucia to Antigua demonstrated the boat's balance, hitting 9.2 knots with a single reef in the main and a reefed headsail, and requiring only minor helm corrections to self-steer.5:27 The centrally located engine compartment provides accessibility for maintenance while underway.0:23 Deliveries often involve routing adjustments, such as sailing from Madeira to Falmouth via the Azores to avoid strong northerly winds, or motoring for 36 hours in light winds to maintain speed during an Antigua to Bermuda passage.1:00 The boat's capability for comfortable offshore performance is seen across varying wind states, from light airs requiring motoring to sustained gale-force conditions.11:17
