Unlikely since he commanded large, slow-moving ships-of-the-line. He may have been a brilliant naval strategist and tactitcian, but I doubt he could have won a race.

If he was still alive he'd be 249 years old, so sadly I doubt he'd be able to win.

Yes, but only if the rules were changed to allow cannons.

Only if he was a billionaire.
