In this second instalment of "Ask the Crew", David covers yacht design and data, planned modifications for Sun Hung Kai Scallywag 100, the IMOCA 60 Hugo Boss yacht design ideas, and talks SHK Scallywag 100 beating Wild Oats XI. Keep an eye out for a surprise on screen guest that appears part way through.
Witt's last campaign in the round-the-world race was fraught with ill fortune, but the skipper of Sun Hung Kai/Scallywag soldiers on, sailing a variety of boats from supermaxis monohulls to 70ft foiling trimarans.
