The Company believes that competitive sailing reflects our core values and as such is the main sponsor of the Sun Hung Kai Scallywag race team, Hong Kong’s professional off-shore sailing team. We believe the team’s spirit of excellence and endurance is a source of inspiration for all our employees, business partners and the community at large.
The team competed on behalf of Hong Kong in the renowned Volvo Ocean Race 17-18, one of the toughest sailing challenges in the world. The team spent more than eight months sailing over 45,000 nautical miles across four oceans.
Since the Volvo Ocean Race, the team operates Scallywag, a 100-foot super maxi race yacht together with SHK Scallywag/FUKU, an ORMA60 trimaran. Just as SHK & Co. today has transformed itself into an all-weather investment partner, the team continues to develop under the Company’s sponsorship. The spirit of the vessel and its crew echoes the Company’s own ethos – Endure. Adapt. Excel.

Inspired by Team Sun Hung Kai Scallywag’s journey and achievements over the past few years as well as its
ethos of excellence and endurance, the Sun Hung Kai & Co. Foundation (“Foundation”) established the Sun Hung Kai Scallywag Foundation (“SHK Scallywag Foundation”),
aimed at building a sailing legacy in Hong Kong and supporting youth development through the sport.
The youth program of SHK Scallywag Foundation offers under-represented youth free introductory courses.
Students keen to pursue sailing further will be considered for scholarships.
As a platform for the Group’s partners to support the community, the Foundation aims to grow this initiative
by cooperating with other like-minded partners and sponsors.
