As the nights draw in and the temperatures start to plummet, it's safe to say that winter is fast approaching.  It's also pretty evident that we have come to the end of another sailing season by the amount of boats we have in our Boat Yard already.  Here's hoping to a long and cheerful 2012 sailing season.  Well, we can only hope!

We continue to see a lot of interest in the new Rustler 33, and have been demonstrating the boat - and all others in the Rustler range in all types of weather.

Many of the Yachting Magazines are now also booked for trial sails - so you can expect to see the R33 in your favourite magazine shortly!

When the Rustler 33 came back from the Southampton Boat Show, she underwent her final finishing touches in preparation for her highly anticipated sea trials and photo shoot.  Our photographer Richard Langdon of ‘Ocean Images’ came down to a very overcast Falmouth but within a few hours of him being here the weather miraculously changed.  The sun shone, conditions were fantastic and he managed to get some pretty good photos.  Our favourites have now been picked and a Rustler 33 brochure is currently being put together!

Picture L to R:  Our refit team - David, Gary, & Sol

Here are a couple of skillful characters (!):  Sol Stainer, Dave Brunyee and Gary Cowell.  Sol runs the refit team alongside Dave (and others), and these two are never happier than fitting a new plank into a classic racer, or re-decking a tired world cruiser!  Gary however, doesn’t understand why boats have sails when they have ‘perfectly good diesel engines to push them along’!  As a diagnostic diesel engine and systems engineer, Gary is one of the best.

If you have a problem, or require service work to be done, please do call Emma here at the office.  She will be able to find you the right person for the job!

Trial sails on most of the Rustler range are available throughout the winter, so please do contact us if you are keen to try one of our fabulous yachts.
