Segelfreund is available to aid you in orchestrating your sailing trip. You have the capability to invite your crew members (or receive invitations from your skipper), oversee provisioning management, and export lists of crew members.
A cruising kitty, in the context of sailing and boating, refers to a designated fund or budget set aside by sailors and boaters to cover the various expenses associated with cruising and living aboard a boat. Cruising often involves extended periods of travel, living on the boat, and exploring various destinations, which can incur costs beyond the initial purchase or maintenance of the vessel. These expenses can include fuel, food, marina fees, maintenance and repairs, insurance, communication, entertainment, and other necessities. The term "cruising kitty" is derived from the idea of having a pool of funds, like a kitty, to draw from when needed during the course of a cruise.
Properly managing and budgeting the cruising kitty is essential for ensuring a smooth and enjoyable cruising experience without financial stress. Sailors and boaters usually plan and contribute to their cruising kitty based on their estimated expenses, the duration of their cruise, and the destinations they intend to visit.
In Segelfreund, we refer to the concept of a "cruising kitty" as a solution for managing expenses within a group. It's designed to handle the financial aspects of group activities, such as sailing trips, by offering flexibility. Whether you contribute upfront or decide to pay as you go, Segelfreund handles the calculations, ensuring transparent and simplified expense sharing among group members.
