Ragtime

Ragtime

 

Ragtime is a J/130 launched in 1994. This will be her second Sydney Hobart after two late withdrawals in 1994 and 2021. She made it in time for the race last year and claimed PHS Corinthian honours. The team has been racing in the CYCA events this year in preparation for this year’s race and won Division 2 in November’s Bird Island Race.  Ragtime was first owned by her designer, Rod Johnstone, who sold her Steve and Cindy Everett, who had good results with her, including third IMS overall in the 1991 Sydney Gold Coast race. Chris and Bernadette Morgan next bought her and won IRC in the 2014 Brisbane to Keppel race. She has kept her original name throughout all owners.
