I'm pulling for Stan Honey

I watch in awe the graphics he has pulled off. Unobtrusive and highly contributing to the enjoyment of watching. The VMG angle graphics that they pulled out yesterday for the first time were superb - those should always be on!

These just aren't cartoons - there are sensors and GPS's with 2cm accuracy placed all over the boats sending data to Stan's team. The graphics are the real thing. Did you see the graphic replay of TNZ almost capsizing? The graphic actually had their inverted wing and its re-inversion in accurate time.

Heck, his graphics are so good and exciting, they don't even need real boats next time!

And Jobson finally found his pace with his commentary by simply stating over and over "these boats are impressive". I think he is finally "getting" it!
