Top 18fter and Volvo Ocean Race skipper, David Witt is a lot of things - but never boring. He provides a much needed lift to the way too serious Volvo Ocean Race as the Hong Kong backed entry SKH Scallywag made her way through the Atlantic Ocean on the way to Lisbon and the start of Leg 2.
Here are four videos from the leg - including The Breakfast Show - and swimming out an anchor to warp the Volvo65 off the bottom close to the Lisbon finish.
Then there's his signature ride - from Auckland from the 18ft Grand Prix skiff series sailed in a 35kt sea breeze. Those who were on the water that day will never forget this sailing display - and hopefully it is a taste of things to come from Witt and his crew in the Southern Ocean.
Scallywag lead the rear peloton and sit in 4th place heading into night 4 of Leg 1 despite a dramatic day – and spirits are high onboard the HK boat!
