Hong Kong supermaxi yacht SHK Scallywag led the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race fleet imperiously out of Sydney Harbour, attracting primetime media coverage, then settled into a ?battle of the giants? with two other 100ft super maxis, Black Jack and LawConnect.

Round one clearly went to SHK Scallywag?s skipper, David Witt, who opted to start, in a building southerly breeze, with one reef in the yacht?s mainsail, which gave him more control and a slight edge in speed.
All three maxis bunched at the leeward end of the first of four starting lines for the 88-strong fleet, and Witt?s tactic paid off. TV cameras constantly zoomed in on SHK Scallywag?s prominent Hong Kong ? Asia?s World City bow artwork as the yacht drew inexorably ahead of her rivals, and led by several boat lengths at the first turning mark inside Sydney Heads. SHK stands for Sun Hung Kai, the long-established financial services and wealth management company of which Scallywag?s owner Lee Seng Huang is Executive Director.
