The yellow first-down line in broadcast football games first caused a sensation 20 years ago. The real-time dynamic graphics overlaid onto San Francisco Bay during the 19 races of the 2013 America's Cup were as dramatic as Oracle Team USA's come-from-behind win over Emirates Team New Zealand. The man responsible for leading the teams that developed this technology is Stan Honey.

Stan is also one of the most successful professional navigators in sailing: He won the Volvo Ocean Race around the world, set the Jules Verne record for the fastest non-stop circumnavigation of the world, and  set multiple 24-hour TransAtlantic, TransPacific and single-handed sailing records as navigator. Honey was awarded the 2010 US Sailing Yachtsman of the Year Award, and was named to the National Sailing Hall of Fame in 2012.

In this talk sponsored by the IEEE Consultants' Network of Silicon Valley (CNSV), Stan Honey discusses his career of navigation-related adventures, including the 1980s ETAK auto navigation system, and the inventions he has spearheaded that have provided Emmy-winning augmented reality for sporting events and sailing, the use of Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS satellite navigation in some of those systems, and his experience in circumnavigating the globe under sail in 48 days non-stop.
