Peter Burling and Blair Tuke have just landed one of the most respected awards in the sport: International Sailing Federation's Rolex World Sailors of the Year. The pair were stoked to receive this recognition after an incredible year they've both had. Stoked as they might be, they still have a world title to defend at this week's World Championship in Buenos Aires. Eyes on the prize, boys.
