Nowadays any post asking for money in the Net smells like a scam.

If you want to collect money and don't want it to look like a scam, the financials of your sailing event must be reliable, verifiable and easy to understand.

You smay ask for deposits in an escrow account in a bank, provided that the rules governing the account are well prepared.

Alternatively, you may use a reliable trustee. A well reputed treasurer of a well reputed yacht club or fleet is a strong candidate. Unknown people are not eligible - and that probably means you.

By the way: I would never send money to anyone writing in English with more mistakes than I do. Those mistakes are too simmilar to those found in scams. Find an educated adult to help you. find a fleet or yacht club to help too.
