Role: Technical Director & Navigator
As one of the senior members of the TEAMORIGIN line-up, Stan has a huge wealth of experience and technical expertise to bring to the team. After studying engineering at Yale and Stanford, and Advanced Meteorology at the Maritime Institute of Technology, he found himself in the world of ocean racing working with the meteorologists, routers and yacht designers, and has continued to work in sailing ever since.
Out of the yachting world, he has pioneered development in sport’s technology and held a number of high profile positions including co-founder and president of Sportvision inc. He holds two Emmys for technical innovation in broadcast technology and has earned 29 patents in the fields of navigation, digital mapping and remote measurements.
On the water Stan has navigated and sailed in a huge variety of races and broken many records on the way including the 24 hour and trans-Atlantic record on Playstation. Of 19 transpacific races he has competed in as navigator he has won nine and in his latest venture he helped ABN Amro to win the Volvo Ocean Race as the navigator onboard.
Why you joined TEAMORIGIN:
“Working with Mike Sanderson in the Volvo Ocean Race was not only a very productive relationship but a thoroughly enjoyable one as well, so when I heard he was heading up this campaign I was immediately interested. The technology and navigation required in the America’s Cup is different to a round the world race, but with such an expert team behind me I felt this was an exciting challenge I could not turn down.”
