Kitty & settlement 

The kitty is calculated very precisely, based on real costs from many previous deliveries and cruising runs on this route.

The stated amount is an estimated “kitty cap” based on typical running costs for this leg (food on board, fuel, ports/locks/canals, safety consumables, charts/subscriptions, long-run items for the whole voyage. It is not a fare. All payments are contributions toward running costs. Any surplus is either spent together (e.g. shared meal in the final port, with crew consent) or rolled to the next leg. The skipper does not contribute to the kitty.
