Wot Yot

 

Graeme Wood, CEO of Wotif.com, has nominated two boats for the Rolex Sydney Hobart. Wood has put together an outstanding line up to sail his new Nelson/Marek 52 including ex-Quest Overall winning crew members Michael Green, David Ellis (who will reach the 25 race milestone this year) and Jack Goluzd. In total, the crew has sailed an amazing 163 Hobarts. The Nelson/Marek 52 is carbon built, with a conventional fixed keel/bulb configuration, and is extremely light for her length. She’s 9 feet longer on the waterline than Graeme's second applicant for entry, Wots Next? yet displaces a full 2 tonnes less.
