Monaco Classic Week: Tradition and Future with Sir Robin Knox-Johnston at Yacht Club

The message to younger generations is clear: “To the younger generation I would say: don’t look at it as just maintaining a bit of history. Get involved and learn what was involved in keeping these boats going—the skills involved. And get out there and sail the boats as well, because they’re marvellous to sail. They’re fascinating not just because they look pretty, but because of how they operated so efficiently, how much work for the crew to make them operate so efficiently. And that’s part of the science and culture of the sea that we must not lose.”
