We puchased our Privilege 39 directly from the factory, and we had very good luck with our major systems for the first five years of our circumnavigation. The only issue I had was needing to replace some of the rigging wires on our diamond stays by the time we reached French Polynesia.
I had the distinct feeling with our Privilege that we had a five year grace period in which very few things required attention. But after those first five years passed, we were like any other boat. If you do routine maintenance at convenient times, then things don't break at inconvenient times. If you neglect routine maintenance, then lots of things will break at the most inconvenient of times once your grace period is over.
