Wot Eva

 

Thanks to a generous donation by wotif.com co-founder Graeme Wood, Sailors with disABILITIES have a new boat and will this year compete in IRC, having raced in PHS division for the past few years. Wood donated his Nelson Marek designed 52 footer, previously known as Wot Yot and christened Wot Eva by SWD, to the not-for- profit organisation and for the first time in 16 Bass Straight crossings they will be in contention for the Tattersall’s Cup for the overall winner of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, considered worldwide one of yachting’s most prestigious trophies.
