The Rustler Yachts 36 is a masthead sloop designed by Holman, Pye, and Kim Holman, built by Rustler Yachts since 1980, known for its long keel and transom-hung rudder. With an LOA of 10.8 m and a displacement of 7622 kg, it is a popular choice for solo offshore racing, particularly the Golden Globe Race (GGR). GGR entrants frequently modify the boat for extreme conditions; Damien Guillou rebuilt his Hydrovane mounting to address transom flex, while Robin Davie installed multiple watertight bulkheads and reinforced chain plate attachments.16:15 Crews often carry extensive sail inventories, with Susie Goodall noting a preference for a wider variety of genoa sizes, and Damien Guillou using a roller-furled medium genoa, a long-luff staysail, and multiple spinnakers.2:48 Self-steering is critical, with Monitor and Hydrovane systems commonly used; Guillou carries three complete Hydrovane units.17:05 Power often comes from solar panels, with fully internalized wiring.1:04:50 Jean-Luc van den Heede's GGR-winning Rustler 36, *Matmut*, featured glassed-in cockpit lockers, a soft fluorescent dodger, and all halyards led aft.4:42 Graham Dalton and Doug Dean emphasize the importance of sleep management and traditional navigation methods for solo circumnavigation in the Rustler 36.3:14
