Sailors with disAbilities

 

Having raced in PHS division for the past few years with their previous vessel,  Sailors with disABILITIES now have a more competitive edge, thanks to a generous donation by wotif.com co-founder Graeme Wood. Wood donated his Judel Vrolijk designed 52 footer, previously known as Wot Yot, to the not-for- profit organisation just prior to the 2010 Rolex Sydney Hobart where they competed in IRC against five other TP52s. Sailors with disABILITIES makes a return to offshore racing after sustaining damage in the Flinders Islet yacht race last year.
