Profile

A legendary name in the world of ocean racing, this is the 5th yacht to bear the name Ragamuffin, and it is the latest Peterson design. She was not ready for last year's event but was selected for the Admiral's Cup Team to compete in England this year, where she was the top performing Australian yacht. Her owner Syd Fischer is perhaps Australia's most successful ocean racing yachtsman, who has won events around the world, whilst a first in the Hobart as always eluded him. Must be a favourite.

Member of the Australian Southern Cross Cup team.
