Absolutely Charlie.
Many people perceive sailing at that level as a boring sport for snobs. Ellison is doing an excellent job of removing that perception.
I noticed they are giving speeds in miles per hour, which people understand. Every little bit that helps the public to understand what is happening is better.
The popularity and excitement is going from croquet to NASCAR. They even have a checkered flag at the finish.

This is really good for the sport.
I'm really looking forward to the 72's.
