Seng Huang Lee’s maxi, skippered by David Witt may be the unknown factor in the race for Line Honours in 2023 following extensive modifications over the Australian winter.  The 2014 built yacht will be sporting a taller mast and new deck which Witt hopes will give them a stronger chance if light to moderate conditions prevail this year.  With America’s Cup sailors Luke Parkinson and Luke Payne returning, the maxi will be the one to watch in the lead up to this year’s race.
