Australian sailing royalty Syd Fischer has died at the age of 95, just a few days short of his 96th birthday.

Fischer is regarded as the country's finest ever offshore sailor, having competed in 42 Sydney to Hobart races - the last in 2015 at the age of 88.

His famous boats, Ragamuffin, took Sydney to Hobart line honors twice - in 1988 and 1990 - and won the overall handicap title in 1992.
