Sir Peter Blake's vessels were primarily known as the "Enza" and the "Sir Peter Blake." The "Enza" was notable for its role in the 1995 Whitbread Round the World Race, while the "Sir Peter Blake" was named in his honor after his tragic death in 2001. Both vessels were significant in representing his contributions to sailing and ocean conservation.
