Ragamuffin
Syd Fischer, at 79 the doyen of Australian ocean racing yachtsmen, is finishing off his 37th season of ocean racing with the 21st Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, the closing race of the Blue Water championship he has won eight times since he began ocean racing in 1968. While David Mason’s Prime Time has the Blue Water championship sewn up, Ragamuffin is well positioned to finish 2nd or 3rd.
The Farr 50 has had a good record in the Sydney Gold Coast Race, taking first place Overall under IMS handicap in 2000, second in IMS Overall in 2002, first overall again in 2003 and in 2004 placing second in IRC Division A to IRC Overall winner Quest.
