Team New Zealand and Peter Burling

Congratulations to Team New Zealand and their helmsman, Peter Burling on winning the America’s Cup!

Just like Peter Blake, who  first won the cup for New Zealand in 1994, Burling began his sailing career in in Tauranga harbour in a P Class yacht – notoriously difficult to sail. There are many comparisons to be made between the two men in terms of their looks and character and dedication to sailing.

No doubt the late Peter Blake, had he been alive today would have been very intrigued by the changes in boat building technology that have taken place since NZL 32, Black Magic took to the water.
