None of them ever sailed a board, so they can't be truly 'the best' sorry not voting.

At least one of them has sailed a board, probably most of them  Correction - 3 of them!

When Ben Ainslie can add World Championship wins in such divers classes as the Star, 505, 5.5m, plus an Olympic 4th place in Tornado, and results over a career as long as Pol Elvstrom then he may merit the title. Elvestrom revolutionised competitive sailing, set up a world class sailmaking business and won an impressive range of titles.
Denis Connor would be my second place vote. Tabarly was a great offshore sailor, with a penchant for running aground when anywhere near the coast. Not really a racing sailor... more a great mariner. To qualify the minimum requirement would be world championships in dinghies (preferably both singlehanded and doublehanded) keelboats and big boats with lids. |

Isn't that a bit of a contradiction?
