Finding your Ideal Sailboat - Blog

Self belief and sailing

11/20/2022

0 Comments

 
Sir Peter Blake could inspire self-belief. To handle oceans, waves, spray, wind and cold all the while imagining the next the next big wave, the next sail change or the next strategy with unfailing optimism.

Sir Peter Blake was well known for leadership, teamwork, adventure, commitment, tenacity, self-belief, loyalty, integrity, and the pursuit of excellence.

He was a great role model to many Kiwis like myself. A passionate sailor with a big presence, he had a memorable handshake as many professional sailors do!!

He shared his stories by talking into a microphone as he lived and breathed the ocean; the exhilaration of sailing the waves, and the raw emotion of the ups and downs his team as they battled against the element in around the world racing. He died defending his boat while researching the effects of pollution in the Amazon.

​He had great trust in his team - he picked crew who were ready to be part of a team and who could work together in the most challenging conditions.
