Russell started Anstey Yachts and built the first thirty five or so.

[3] In the early 1980s, Orion Marine and its founder Ralph Hogg began building the traditional Rustler 36 design.

[citation needed] She marked the start of an ongoing relationship with Stephen Jones (now having designed its 33, 37, 42, 44, and most recently the 57) In 2005 Rustler moved to a newly built waterside factory in Penryn.

[1] Rustler also built yachts under the Bowman brand since the acquisition of Rival Bowman in 2002,[5] and until 2011 also produced yachts under the Starlight brand.

Although the Rustler 36 is still available, the Rustler 37 offers increased hull volume and an encapsulated long fin keel, instead of the long keel on the Kim Holman design.
