Profile

One of this year's victorious Admiral's Cup team Ragamuffin is an aluminium Peterson 45 of the highly successful Williwaw type. The Sydney Hobart Race is about the only major race in Australia that Syd Fischer has not won, although he has gone very close on more than one occasion. Will be one of the boats to beat.
