Wot's Next

 

Launched in early November last year, Wot’s Next found form at this year’s Hamilton Island Race Week where she won the Premier Cruising Division. Graeme Wood will use this boat to carry a part youth crew selected from the CYCA’s Youth Sailing Academy to Hobart and in return, those selected will have to participate in a mentoring programme with students from Blacktown Tutorial Centre. Wood has entered two boats in this year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart, the second is his new Transpac 52 Wot Yot.
