The Yachts

Ragamuffin

 

Launched shortly before the start of the Australian Admiral's Cup selection trials she has proved one of the most outstanding yachts in Australia.  Ably sailed by owner Syd Fischer and his crew she has won or been placed in her class in every race in which she has sailed in Australia and was highly successful in England where she was the top point scorer for Australia and won an English Point Score series sailing in only three of the four races.  In this race she could well pull off the coveted line honours/handicap double.
