How do you prefer to sail?

Daily sailing duration:

I prefer to sail from dawn to dusk

I prefer to start sailing a bit later during the day.

I prefer to arrive at our daily destination a bit earlier.

I prefer not to sail too long.

I prefer to spend days "parked" at anchor.

I don't care.

Marinas:

I do not need to visit marinas and ports, to avoid expensive mooring fees.

I prefer to visit marinas.

Do you want to actively participate in sailing?:

I am willing to assist the Skipper with all aspects of sailing the boat, such as setting the sails, tacking, jibing, anchoring and with sharing the duties of "helming" (steering) or "being on watch" over long distances.

I prefer not to participate in sailing myself.

I am also willing to share the other, less glamourous, duties such as cooking & meal preparation, cleaning dishes, etc., (Attention Guys: Nothing will upset the onboard women more than your assumption that they are going to handle all the galley (i.e. kitchen) chores. Likewise, don't assume that the women can't handle their share of the deck work).

Life aboard

I can use fresh water economically.

Hygiene:

I can use sea water for washing myself.

I prefer to use fresh water for washing myself.

(Please note that for trips in the Mediterranean, we can easily refill the water tank in marinas, so water shortness will not become a problem. When crossing oceans, though, it is inevitable to be resourceful with water, though. So please indicate, how much and how often you will need fresh water for showers.)

I will bring my own bedding (alternatively 15 Euro per person for washing costs)
