Wot's Next
Launched in early November, Wot’s Next is a slightly modified sistership to Jem, winner of the Premier Class at this year’s Hamilton Island Week, but is more racing orientated. Graeme Wood has done most of his offshore racing in Queensland but is now a CYCA member. This will be his first Hobart Race but he has put together an outstanding team that includes Sydney Hobart winning crewmembers Michael Green, David Ellis, Jack Goluzd and Ron Jacobs. In total, the crew have sailed in 140 Hobarts.
Graeme is CEO of www.wotif.com, the global specialist in last-minute accommodation - hence the name of the boat.
