Profile

Margaret Rintoul II continues to race successfully in Australian ocean racing despite being ten years old. Favoured by a large age allowance she could still do well in this race. Over the years she has been Australia's most famous yacht, locally and overseas, when she was well known as the first Ragamuffin. She retired from last year's race but should do better this time up.
