Another cruising wonder from the stable of Stephen Jones, first launched back in 1999 she marked the start of a slightly new direction for Rustler and the start of a long standing relationship with Rustler and Stephen. The design ethos was to create something which was classic looking but with a modern twist and the result was a lovely yacht that sails well and beautifully in all conditions.

The Rustler 42 is of course a classic looking yacht with a high bow and elegant sheerline leading aft to an overhanging transom. Her coachroof is low, maintaining her elegant look but it is long and wide creating plenty of space below decks. Below the water she has a long encapsulated fin keel and large skeg hung rudder, enhancing her grip on the water and fantastic upwind performance.

Her rig setup is powerful but easily handled by a couple. She comes cutter rigged as standard, giving a huge range of sail plan options. She bares all the Rustler ethos and philosophy first seen in the Rustler 36 , including the well regarded sea kindly motion.

Below decks, you descend the companionway to the very well thought through galley to port which has been designed to be the perfect space for cooking at sea. Opposite the galley on the starboard side is the forward facing chart table, which has been specified to be the correct size to take a folded admiralty chart. Every detail is thought through. Aft of the chart table is a pilot berth and the day heads. The pilot berth has a purpose built chart drawer underneath. The heads which is a wet room and is practically located at the bottom of the companionway and has specific storage for wet weather gear.

Moving forward you have the magnificent saloon which can comfortably seat 8 around the beautifully hand crafted drop leaf table. Plenty of stowage all around the saloon with specific book, bottle and glass storage and lee cloths to port and starboard seats fitted as standard.

The master cabin is forward and has a large double V berth with ample stowage beneath. Being the master, the cabin has an en-suite which has its own separate shower. The cabin also features a vanity unit and seat! Being a two cabin yacht, her 2nd cabin is aft and entered aft of the galley. There is plenty of headroom and stowage as to be expected from these fine cruising yachts.

History of Zabaykalsky Krai

The first people inhabiting Transbaikalia, known both from archaeological finds and written sources (mainly Chinese), were the nomadic people of the Hunnu (209 BC - 93 AD), who created a large state in the Central Asian steppes. In the 6th-9th centuries, Turkic Uighurs lived in this region.

In 1206, Temujin was proclaimed the great khan of the Mongolian state and adopted a new name - Genghis Khan. The territory of the region became an integral part of the Mongol Empire. In the 14th century, the Mongolian Empire collapsed into separate states. Until the 17th century, the territory of the present Zabaykalsky krai was part of the Mongolian state of Northern Yuan.

From the middle of the 17th century, Transbaikalia became part of the Russian state. The first explorers crossed Dauria (the lands beyond Lake Baikal) along the rivers. The Buryats and Tungus, after a long resistance, recognized the new power and paid tribute to Russia. Several fortified towns were founded. Among the first colonists there were a lot of exiled old believers.

Since 1704, Nerchinsky, Shilkinsky, Gazimursky, and other silver smelters appeared. In the 18th century, the population of the region grew rapidly due to the influx of settlers and criminals, who worked in mines. Great role in the development of the region was played by the exiled members of the Decembrist uprising (brothers Bestuzhev, M.S.Lunin, N.M.Muravyov, C.G.Volkonsky, A.I.Yakubovich and others). From 1782, the region was a part of Nerchinskaya (Zabaykalskaya) Oblast of Irkutsk Governorate.

More Historical Facts…

Since the 19th century, mining was the main industry of the region. In 1851, Zabaykalskaya Oblast was formed with the capital in Chita as part of Irkutsk Governorate. In the same year, with the goal of strengthening the border, the Trans-Baikal Cossack Army was created, numbering more than 3,500 people. At the end of the 19th century, the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway forced the economic development of the region.

At the end of the 1920s - in the early 1930s, during collectivization, Cossack settlements were destroyed, the Buryat cattle-breeders were forced to have a settled way of life. In March 1934, Chita Oblast was formed, it became a part of Vostochno-Sibirsky Krai. On September 26, 1937, Vostochno-Sibirsky Krai was divided into Irkutsk and Chita oblasts. Within Chita Oblast there was Aginsky Buryat-Mongol national district formed.

During the Second World War, tens of thousands of local residents were drafted into the Soviet army. In connection with the threat of an attack by the Kwantung Army of Japan, the Transbaikal front was established here. In 1945, after the defeat of Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union began military operations against Japan.

Until 1949, about 77 thousand Japanese prisoners of war were engaged in work to restore the region. The local economy was completely restored by the 1950s. In 1969, there was an armed conflict on the Soviet-China border close to the frontier point of Nizhne-Mikhailovka on the Damansky Island.

In the 1990s, there was a sharp decline in industrial and agricultural production. On March 1, 2008, in the territory of Chita Oblast and the Aginsky Buryat Autonomous Okrug, a new federal subject of Russia was created - Zabaykalsky Krai.
