The Elder Statesmen Q&A @ Wetsuit Outlet & Zhik Moth Worlds 2023

In the absence of racing on day 4, we spoke to Jason Belben, Mike Lennon, Ricky Tagg, Simon Payne, Les Thorpe and Hiroki Goto about the past, present and future of the International Moth class. The ‘elder statesmen’ shared their knowledge and gave some hugely valuable insights in this must-watch Q&A.

Thank you so much for bringing this class of sailors up for the interview. Met some of them during my Moth foiling days between age 60 and 70. Would like to get back into it after paused for 5 years, but an accident during my DN racing destroyed my fitness level. Wishing them all the best and fun and all. Good health and flying high!
