In November 2015 the International Sailing Federation announced that Burling and Tuke were the ISAF Rolex World Male Sailors of the year.[4]

Burling and Tuke are the first sailors to win 4 consecutive 49er class World Championships (2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016). As of May 2016 they have been undefeated in major regattas in the 49er since the London Olympics - winning 26 consecutive regattas. Burling is also the 2015 World Champion in the International Moth. He is the helmsman for Emirates Team New Zealand's 2017 Americas Cup campaign.
