Midnight Rambler

 

Ed Psaltis’s Sydney 36, Midnight Rambler placed third in Division 4 and fourth in IRC Corinthian last year. In 2022 Psaltis won both Division 4 and the IRC Corinthian Division. This is the seventh Midnight Rambler yacht Psaltis has owned, campaigning each one over his over 40 years of ocean racing. Psaltis, with Bob Thomas, famously won the fatal 1998 Sydney Hobart with the Hick 35, AFR Midnight Rambler. The various Midnight Ramblers have won every major offshore race on the east coast of Australia and Psaltis is back to try and win again.
