Sir Peter Blake, one of New Zealand's most
loved citizens, was born on 1 October 1948.
Had he not been sadly killed by pirates in South America in 2001, he
would have been 65 years old.
Peter
was a fantastic yachtsman. He led Team
New Zealand to successive victories in the America's Cup, set the world record
for fastest time sailing round the world and won numerous other major races.
Thank you so much.
