Why would anyone want to help pay for marina fees for a boat that they will have to work to get into sailing shape, if they don't own it, aren't getting paid to do the work to re-fit the boat, and would probably have to spend some considerable time and possibly money to get ready to sail. Granted, JR3 doesn't want to charge them to have the dubious privilege of sailing it... but neither does he want to commit the money to properly restore it and to pay them to do the work that is involved in restoring it.
Then, on top of it all, he wants them to sail it to a foreign country without having taken care of all the legal paperwork that is necessary for that to happen.
JR3 also appears to be unwilling to insure the boat for the people moving it, and has asked them to do so... which is both irresponsible and a risk most are not willing to take.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
