Writers Live - David Salter introduces Ragamuffin Man
9th Mar '17 @ Berkelouw Mona Vale


Default_salter_-_sailing_portrait__1

You are invited to meet David Salter when he introduces Ragamuffin Man.

The year is 1938. A knockabout 11-year-old kid from Marrickville, Sydney, is suddenly confronted by mortality when 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 multiple Sydney to 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.
 
Meet author David Salter when he introduces his new book about this remarkable man, at 6.30pm, on Thursday, March 9th, 2017.
