maybe I should treat a yacht like an airplane situation.. every time you
take
it for a ride
it has to be maintenance on and repairs or preventive repairs.

Maybe so, if You plan to cross the Atlantic every time You use it...
Preparation is part of every trip, but offcourse not the same on a trip
across the Thames or Missisipi, as a trip across the Atlantic Ocean. If I
was to do that, I would start by getting the necessary experience on small
trips, then extending the duration until I was confident that I had the
necessary skills.

Also a rookie
