Profile

Perhaps one of the most famous yachts ever to walk onto the Australian ocean racing scene, she dominated ever since her launching as Ragamuffin in 1968. As Rags she represented Australia twice in the Admiral's Cup competition with a notable win in the 1971 Fastnet Race. Now resident in Tasmania, she has competed consistently in the race with the best results being two seconds in 1970 and 1978.
