btw, where do you live? if you wanna do a trial sail, then its probably a good idea to at least be on the same continent..
and if you do 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off, how long can you be away?
cheers

Finding people with all the requisites it's difficult indeed, it's a tiny minority of population. However once found some, I think it's more likely that this kind of people would be drawn to such project. People who do not end up tied up head to toe in their lives are free spirits that have worked to get to that level of freedom. The lifestyle that a well found sailing yacht can offer it's very appealing to these kind of people and it's the best environment to feel truly free.
I live in Canada and Italy and I work in Brazil. The sailing trial would be in the French West Indies, there they have the perfect boat for the project that can be rented. Once I get some candidates we can bareboat charter to test the boat and people. If all goes well we can then look for the same boat to buy.
The boat in this case would the Cigale 14. The best compromise in comfort, strenth and performance.
Cheers
