Match Play. Red leads 6-0 to 11. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?

For money this would be a massive pass but once again the score dictates the actions. Of course, Red must double, but at this score White has a comfortable take because of the power of his potential redoubles to 4.

His structure is sound and his home board strong enough to pose a threat. Nobody likes taking doubles like this one but here the take is very clear.
