Yes, but I was ignoring launch tender for purposes of this discussion.

Also, the OUPV near coastal is up to 100 miles offshore.

I am reading this as I write:
Near Coastal
...waters to seaward of the Boundary Line to 200 miles offshore. A near
coastal license may be restricted to a smaller distance offshore, such as
100 miles.

The license may also be restricted to less than 100 tons if the Coasties
decide that your experience warrants it.

Nitpick away...

Not nitpicking... :-)

I think you're talking about a Masters 100 Ton, Near Coastal.
