Sir Peter Blake.........Sir!

Sir Peter Blake will go down in history as one of the world's great modern-day ocean sailors. He won the Whitbread round-the-world race, the Jules Verne Trophy for the fastest non-stop navigation of the globe, and the America's Cup - as head of the 1995 and 2000 America's Cup campaigns. Sir Peter (who earned a knighthood for his endeavours) was tragically killed by pirates in December 2001 while attempting to save the world's oceans and waterways through his own environmental project,blakexpeditions
