Stan Honey, America's Cup technology director.

Stan Honey, director of technology for the America’s Cup Event Authority, and John Craig, a well-known regatta coordinator and former Canadian Sailing Team coach, will give a presentation on the upcoming cup races in Saturday, Feb. 25, at 7:30 p.m. at the downtown Seattle Public Library.

The program is being put on by The Sailing Foundation. Tickets are available at $10 each at thesailingfoundation.org. Space is limited, and many of the tickets already have been sold.

Honey, an engineer known for technical innovation in yachting, also co-founded Sportvision Inc., a leading developer of enhancements for sports broadcasting credited with introducing the yellow first down line used in football broadcasts.

He also was technical director and navigator for the ABNAMRO Volvo Race Team and was executive vice president technology for Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.

“Stan, in my opinion, is one of the most interesting and talented guys in our sport today — and a fine speaker as well,” said Dick Rose, a member of The Sailing Foundation Board. “I am sure that he and John Craig will have some dramatic video and unbelievable stories to tell.”

Craig has a strong record in sailing and has been coordinating huge regattas on the constrained waters of San Francisco Bay for many years. He also served for several years as coach of the Canadian Olympic Sailing Team. He is the coordinator in charge of running the next America’s Cup races between
