a 16' sailboat is not eligible for documentation.

I have a trawler which I captain for charter
I find "recreational

"a vessel documented exclusively for recreation may not be used for
purposes other than pleasure.

I'm reading this to state that all who fail to obtain either the waiver,
coastwise, or Great Lakes endorsements on our documentation are in
violation of this every time we take someone out for hire.

Okay........... so are you saying if I have a 16' sailboat on inland
waters and give sailing lessons I need a USCG OUPV or Master of some
GRT tons inland?
