Ragamuffin

 

Eighty year old Syd Fischer, a legend in Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race history, is contesting his 45th offshore season and his 39th Hobart as skipper of his latest Ragamuffin, a TP52 originally from San Diego.  Fischer won the Sydney Hobart overall in 1992 and took line honours twice with his German Frers designed maxi Ragamuffin, in 1988 and 1990.  Longtime crewman Tony Ellis will contest his 41st race this year.
