Hasta la Vista

Owner Richard Grimes’ 24 year-old twins, Jessica and Tom, will skipper Hasta La Vista.. While Tom got a last-minute ride on Celestial last year and placed second overall, it is Jess’ first Hobart. The twins are graduates of the CYCA’s Youth Sailing Academy and are two-time youth world match racing champions. Tom and Jess will be under the watchful eye of their father, an eminent navigator with 30 Hobarts behind him and joined by another father and son team, Stuart and Mackenzie Broom.Despite the small boat, Grimes Sr says: “We’re eating real food – none of that freeze dried stuff.”
