Victorian yachtsman Lou Abrahams. a two-time Sydney Hobart winner, is lining up for his 42nd race south with a crew that has plenty of Hobart experience.

Lou enjoyed success with his previous Sydney 38, which is called Another Challenge and is on loan to a group of university students campaigning their first Rolex Sydney Hobart this year.

Lou is still achieving outstanding results as he creeps towards John Bennetto’s record of 43 Sydney Hobarts, soon to be 44.
