Sir Peter Blake was an outstanding yachtsman and adventurer, an international sporting celebrity who achieved status and esteem to rival that accorded to that other great Antipodean adventurer, Sir Edmund Hillary. In a thirty-year sailing career, Sir Peter won every significant blue-water race on the planet, including the America's Cup and the Whitbread Round the World Race, and slashed the record for the fastest non-stop circumnavigation of the world under sail. Knighted for his achievements, Sir Peter turned away from competitive sailing in the last years of his life to pursue a passion for helping to protect the environment that had given him so much pleasure. In this first-ever biography, Alan Sefton, an experienced yachting writer and a close friend and sailing colleague, traces Blake's extraordinary life - from the small boy crazy about the sea to the rigours of ocean racing and the high dramas of the America's Cup and its controversial after-math . . .

How to lead winning teams: an insider's insight into the leadership of yachting legend Sir Peter Blake. New Zealand lost one of its favourite sons when Sir Peter Blake was shot and killed in the Amazon in late 2001. Blake had become a icon after leading New Zealand to victory in the 1995 and 2000 America's Cups, following earlier successes in the Whitbread Round the World Race and Jules Verne Challenge. His accomplishments demonstrate his skill at assembling, managing and leading winning teams. Blake: Leader is written by sailor and marine scientist Dr Mark Orams, who sailed around the world with Blake and worked with him at Team New Zealand and Blakexpeditions. In this book he looks at Blake's successful style of leadership from a personal viewpoint. It mixes reminiscences and anecdotes from Orams and other sporting and business figures who worked closely with Blake with practical observations of how he chose and led teams. Break-out boxes and chapter summaries highlight key points and techniques that can be used by leaders and team members in a wide range of sports and business situations. Chapters include building a great team, being a great leader, encouraging a great work ethic and having a winning attitude. It also examines the unique New Zealand style of leadership demonstrated by other great Kiwi leaders and how Blake's legacy can be taken into the future.
