Ragamuffin

Ragamuffin

 

"Ragamuffin", of Sparkman and Stephens design and built by Quilkey, was launched in September, 1968, just in time for the Admirals Cup Evaluation Trials, which she proceeded to dominate with devastating efficiency.  Extremely well sailed and crewed, she could well pull off the line honours/handicap double, which Pen Duick just missed out on last year.
