Australian ocean racing skipper and yachtsman Edward McDonald Psaltis won first place overall, aboard AFR Midnight Rambler, in the storm ravaged 1998 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.

Ed Psaltis was born in Sydney on 7 April 1961. He was a junior sailor with the Hunters Hill Sailing Club and sailed in his first Sydney to Hobart as a 17-year old. He was educated at Newington College and the University of New South Wales. As a sailor he has represented Australia in the Sardinia Cup and the Southern Cross Cup. In 1999 he won the Gosford to Lord Howe Island Race with AFR Midnight Rambler, only the second yacht to win both the Hobart and Lord Howe Island races (Australia's only annual Category 1 ocean races) and he has twice won the Sydney-Mooloolaba Race in the 30-footer, Nuzulu. In 2000 he was voted NSW Yachtsman of the Year. In professional life, Psaltis is a Sydney partner of Ernst & Young.
