Ragamuffin 100, which started out as a modified Elliott design, Maximus, is another supermaxi undergoing a major rebuild or retrofit.
In Auckland the Bakewell White design, originally Zana, has been fitted with a new stern and deck section, and will contest the coming Transpac.
Across the Tasman, the new Ragamuffin 100 will be virtually a new boat with a a new hull design by Andy Dovell / Syd Fischer / David Witt. The hull mould and shell was built by Innovation Composites at the Nowra facility.
The hull shell has been transported to Sydney City Marine where it will be fitted to the modified deck of the original Maximus.
These images from Innovation Composites and Team Ragamuffin tell the story of the remarkable build to the current day.
