Delboat

Design 1949 Ragamuffin

This 49 racing sloop was constructed in 1969 by Quilkey Brothers of Sydney, Australia. She was designed for the legendary Syd Fischer. In her first year she was selected as the team boat for the Australian Admirals Cup. She went on to race in the 1971 and 1973 Admirals Cup Races. In addition she has had a pretty impressive racing career elsewhere winning for example the 1971 Fastnet Race. She has competed in 21 Sydney to Hobart Races.

Under her current ownership she has been renamed Margaret Rintoul II and has continued with racing success. She is considered by some to be the most famous racing yacht ever built in Australia. From the looks of some current images she seems to be in "mint" condition.

Here are a couple of interior shots.



The protection from this hard dodger is fantastic, created by simply running the house aft beyond the deckhouse.



Thanks to whoever took these great images.

Here are the plans.
