Sir Peter Blake famously sailed on several boats throughout his career, but he is best known for his time on the trimaran Enza, which he used to set the record for the fastest circumnavigation of the globe in 1994. He also sailed the legendary yacht Sayula II, which won the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1977. Blake was renowned for his contributions to sailing and ocean conservation.

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.
