Ragamuffin Man: The World of Syd Fischer (Hardcover, Ed)

In 1938 a knockabout 11-year-old kid from Marrickville, Sydney, is
suddenly confronted by mortality. His mother dies. His father has
little time for him and at 14 he leaves school to learn a trade. In
2016 that same boy is a multi-millionaire. He owns - and runs - the
Australian Development Corporation, Sydney City Marine, a host of
associated companies and countless office and housing blocks. He is
also one of the world's most successful sailors, having won
Sydney-Hobart races in his Ragamuffin yachts and competed eight
times for Australia in the Admiral's Cup. He jointly holds the
record for the most America's Cup campaigns - all self-funded and
managed personally. He is Syd Fischer, the Ragamuffin man, and he's
known as perhaps the toughest and most uncompromising Australian
businessman and sportsman of the past half century. This is the
story of Fischer's remarkable life, and of his unrelenting quest to
win the Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race one more time. 'It's as if Syd has
suddenly decided that it's time to shrug off his lifelong
reluctance to talk about himself and let us all now see what really
makes him tick.'- Sir James Hardy
