Same boat, more power
Updated with today’s racing technology, anchored in the risk-taking spirit that’s defined Ragtime for decades.
In 2001, this hard chine “black box” finished the Transpac for a record 12th time, and is arguably the single most influential offshore racer of the last thirty years.
John Spencer
Exhibition in NZ
Had a name change to Ragtime (became recognized as one of the first, if not the first of the downwind sleds) and caused a sensation in winning, with much surfing panache.
Gary Baigent
One of the most accomplished racing yachts of all time. She’s drop-dead gorgeous, too.
Jim Gale
2008 Rolex Sydney Hobart media team
I raced on and delivered Rags from 75 off and on to 92. There are so many people that this makes happy. Besides being a well designed boat Rags has that special bit of magic that not many boats have.
Billy Bob
Ragtime Crewmember
Being denied entry because the boat wasn’t sturdy enough, and then sailing from the US to Australia, winning nearly everything along the way, and then winning the very race that said it wasn’t worthy. You couldn’t write that sh*t if you tried.
