Profile

One of Australia's most famous ocean racers, this, the original Ragamuffin, was launched in 1968 and has represented Australia in two Admiral's Cup challenges. She won the 1971 Fastnet Race. This will be her 12th Hobart, her second under current Tasmanian owner Ron Jackman. She has finished 2nd twice, was 7th 2 years ago and finished in the top half of the fleet in last year's 'little boat' race. There may be some adrenaline still left in the old girl.
