Getting a crew together, splitting the costs

Eight required questions, the rest optional. Three of them are money, and the form does the sum for you.

From when to when you can go at all. Not the week of the trip, the whole window: "two of us, any destination, but the dates are tight" is the commonest post in the feed.
Do not know the marina — leave the country. "Turkey, Aegean coast" is enough.
Tick every one you would go to. In the live feed the destination is often a list: "Albania, Greece, Italy, France, Spain — any of them".
Counting you. "Three of us already, three more needed" is the first thing people look at: they join people, not an empty boat.
In your own words: "one more woman", "three more who know the ropes", "men, to even the crew out". People answer that more readily than a number: they join people, and they read this first.
The whole boat, as the charter company prices it. Not chosen yet — take a similar boat: the estimate matters more than the precision.
Including you. Everyone's share comes off this number.
Fuel, berths, food — what people chip in on top of the rental. Do not know — put 0, but then say so in the ad.
If you are covering somebody else's share, say so with a number: the others pay more, and they will see it. "Free for two" without a figure means four people pay for six without knowing.

THIS IS NOT A PRICE BUT A CALCULATION, and it stays on the page together with the numbers it came from. A month later, if it turns out people are splitting something else, there is something to point at. We do not take sides — we keep the record.
A line or two: the holiday is fixed, own sleeping bag, English, seasickness.
Assembled from your answers. Change it if you can say it better.
It will not appear in the ad: only we see it, and we forward the answer to you.

We take no money and are not part of the deal.
The ad stands until the last day of its own dates and then disappears on its own — post it half a year ahead if you like. We clear the board with a job, not with a promise: no dead ads here.
