Re: NZ to South Africa 2014 or Pacific now New Zealand to South Africa
I have a certificate to sail boats up to 24 meters, but because I dont have good enough color sight then I dont have the papers for it. I therefore can olny sail boats up to 50 feet. We carry third party liability and a very small insurance on crew (max total payment for each accident is 200000 DKK) the insurance is through Pantaenius.

Times sure have changed.
40 years ago I wouldn't have given insurance or qualifications a thought.
I would have wanted to know the skipper's experience, where he'd been, and the condition of the boat.
Real adventures don't come with guarantees, or soft pillows.

I guess someone else will have a great adventure while you're making sure you're not being exploited.
Around $30/day for food and berth is really just paying your own way. And it's less if you're long term.
So with no experience, for about $8k you get a berth and food and the opportunity to learn to become a blue water sailor, use of dive gear included, travel the world.
So, you have to share chores and give a hand if anything more needs doing. Big deal.
Where on land can you live for a year and travel for $8k?
It looks like a very fair deal to me

+1
the other alternative is you could get your own boat and do the trip,and spend considerably more than $30 bucks a day

That's easy enough if you're sailing a long passage, but mix in some coastal stuff and up go the costs.
The point is, the OP isn't looking for people like you. You have your own boat and experience.
Many people can't afford a boat, or want to try the lifestyle before jumping in and buying one, so this is a chance to try it out.
He is looking to go sailing, cover costs, and offer people with little or no experience and no boat, the chance to enjoy the adventure too.
He is putting his boat and experience into the deal, and anyone who wants to join him puts in money to pay their way and shares the work.
I really can't see why this is considered unreasonable...
