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 worlds most successful sailors, having won Sydney to Hobart races in his Ragamuffin yachts and competed eight times for Australia in the Admirals Cup. He jointly holds the record for the most Americas Cup campaigns all self-funded and managed personally.He is Syd Fischer, the Ragamuffin man, and hes known as perhaps the toughest and most uncompromising Australian businessman and sportsman of the past half century. This is the story of Fischers remarkable life, and of his unrelenting quest to win the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race one more time.
