Three sailors currently competing in the America’s Cup have been nominated for the prestigious World Sailor Of The Year Awards 2016. Emirates Team New Zealand’s Peter Burling and Blair Tuke and Land Rover BAR’s Giles Scott are among the nominees for the award which is given by World Sailing, the international governing body for the sport of sailing.

Burling and Tuke are the current holders of the award having tasted glory in 2015, and after yet more Olympic success in Rio, the pair will be strong favourites to retain their title. However, they face serious competition from all the other nominees, especially Great Britain’s Giles Scott who the Kiwi pair last faced in America’s Cup action at the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series Toulon and whose Olympic gold medal in Rio in the Finn class has helped him achieve his nomination in 2016.

The America’s Cup has a long and proud history with the award, with a number of America’s Cup legends enjoying award success in the past. From New Zealand, Sir Peter Blake won in 1994 and Sir Russell Coutts won in both 1995 and 2003. American Ed Baird, coach of the 1995 America's Cup winning Team New Zealand and a helmsman in 2007 for Alinghi, won in 2007.

Coming up to date, Sir Ben Ainslie, now leading Land Rover BAR, has won the award more times than any other sailor, enjoying success in 1998, 2002, 2008 and 2012, and ORACLE TEAM USA’s Tom Slingsby and Jimmy Spithill won in 2010 and 2014 respectively.

The awards ceremony will be held in Barcelona, Spain on November 8th, and then the three America’s Cup nominees will be back in action on the water in Japan at the final round of the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series in Fukuoka from November 18 – 20.

The full list of nominees is:

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
