I think you will find Pete Russell and Dennis held the rank of skipper.
Ben has not skippered a AC winner nor defender.
If Prada build a boat that can stay together and win the AC Jimmy will join Russel Dennis and Charlie in the Skippered 3 club well before Ben gets to chalk up a single win.

a better class of live aboard on a marina due to fees
Not classy at all that statement.

At 29 Pistol Pete has potentially 4 more AC campaigns ahead of him which would age him @ 46 compared to Ainslie who is presently 43.
Adding to the chest of gold he has to date tucked under his bed another Olympic medal or two along with the Worlds and his total haul would give Long John Silver and his parrot a woody.
Sale NZ your assumption the only Ainslie can push Coutts off his perch is as usual pretty damned laughable.
Bubble on.

Best sailor ever? ...
Gold medal as well.
I think DC won more AC races and was closest to the Trifecta (as Skipper) with Whitbread 3rd?, Olympic Gold, and AC wins.
Ainslie is the only guy who could topple them both?
On the sherry all ready...

High maintenance - timber, Carvel, old, ,
Don't agree
Owned a 50 year old timber edge butt and glued no glass sloop for 20 years with no problems at all your hysterical claim that timber = higher maintenance over yoghurt pots does not ring true in the real world.
As Sparky quite rightly says built well warm and dry smells as fresh as a field of wild flowers.

Is the 40ft requirement driven by marina size cost and availability?
Whats your budget.
On TradeMe Beale 42ft minter.

He was a key part (from skipper to head honcho) is what, five consecutive AC victories? Six?
I doubt that will ever be equaled.
I met his smarter brother once when he dropped into our club - very unassuming and gracious person.
3 wins as skipper equal with Charlie Barr on the water.

42ft.

Staying in your bubble = staying out of trouble.

And the essential supplies were, if you don't mind saying?
Rum and toilet paper.

Call through to the management at Westhaven Marina office regarding access to retrieve essential supplies and check on boats welfare was met with a curt reply that although they frowned on but could not prevent this happening after pointedly mentioning they did not have access to handcuffs and powers of arrest.
Must of been a case of wishful thinking by the same over zealous employee I and my wife have previously encountered in the past.

As it would be impossible to arrange a sea trial or a survey so unless you buy without nothing will be changing hands.

My Neighbour has one of those, Kiwi Breeze. She sails pretty well for what she is, but significantly slower than the Bene 1st OR the 1220... HUGE interior and cockpit for her size, must be 2x that of the 1220...
Life’s a journey not a race and that Young is a minter.
DS is a hard one to pull off at that length and she works better in my opinion than the opposition.
That cockpit is a beauty.

No rocket ship but pretty well sorted.
Considering the local vigorous prevailing SW 110 hp yanmar will see you right.

Factor in $650 a month for minimum length marina fees that are constantly rising.

Brand is Norma widley available.
If you have the internet why would you want to use the Yellow pages.

Nope, prop on centerline.
Won't change the fact that she'll go backwards like a pig...

We don’t fish as it is against our religion.
We belong to a Squeamish sect that only allows the purchase and consumption of fish that is born dead and filleted usually available at the local supermarket.
Re the torture factor, we never quite got the tow it around foul hooked in the eye and then deposit it still alive in the chilly bin to collectively gasp until dead along with other members of it’s whanau.
The Squeamish strongly believe in the maxim do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
