39 posts and I wanna disagree with both sides !

My understanding is :

Neal does NOT need a sail endorsement for his (6 passenger) charters
on Mustard

Sail Endorsements are Required when operating INSPECTED Sailing
vessels.

doesn't matter if its sail aux or pure sail,

Operators of uninspected (sailing) vessels are not required to have
the sail/aux endorsement.

Exactly right. But the pretender trio of otn, Shen44, Jeff and
Rick (he doesn't really count, thus trio) won't listen to reason
nor will they admit their error. They're so smug and self-
satisfied with their big tickets they think their feces don't
stink.

I tried to tell them that no matter the license I have,
whether master or OUPV. I can carry paying passengers
legally. I lead them all off on a nice big wild goose
chase just to make them even bigger fools when I
slammed them with the facts of the matter.

But, nooooooo. Would they listen? Would they
see reason? Would they show a little common sense
and intelligence? Don't hold your breath. They
refuse to believe a mere 25GT Master is their
master when it comes to small boat sailing. I do
it. I sail. I know how the laws apply to me. They
presume to think they know everything about
something they never do. All they do is drive
big motor vessels. They are not even in the same
league as me.

There is a loser here by the name of Rick who maintains
a Master's license is not worthwhile to have for one
who lives aboard and sails an aux/sailboat. Next thing
he will be attempting to claim a Six- Pak license is no
good for bonefish back country charters. Bwaahahahahah!

I say he's simple-minded and incorrect. Any aux/sailboat
is a motorboat unless the motor (machinery) is not on. The
transmission does not even have to be engaged. The motor
can just be sitting there running at idle charging the batteries,
for example, while the boats goes on her merry way under
sail and she is still classified as a motorboat. This means
having a sailing endorsement is really only legally required
for a pure sailboat (one with no machinery). For example,
I could be sailing along with paying passengers while my
Honda was idling in neutral and there isn't a thing in the
world I was doing illegally with respect to charging
passengers for the sail. Even if I stopped the motor
I could easily start it up again if I saw a law enforcement
vessel and if they boarded I could simply claim the motor
was running all along. This would be even simpler for
an aux/sail boat with an inboard motor as turning the
key to start a motor is even less conspicuous.

So, for all practical purposes any sailor whether he uses
his motor or knot really does not need a sailing endorsement.
The USCG realizes this and that is why they place primary
emphasis on their licenses stating Master of Steam or Motor
Vessels while they toss in a sailing endorsement mostly to
fill a loophole that of pure sailing vessels.

Now, I ask you all, how many pure sailboats have you seen
that are large enough to be for hire with captain are there
that require a sailing endorsement on one's Master of Steam
or Motor Vessels ticket? Also, ask yourself how many Master of
Sailing with motor endorsement licenses are there? The
answer to that is zero, zilch, nada, none! Yet that fool of
a boy Rick lives his life and argues his lame points on the
basis of acting like they predominate. What a misinformed
clown Rick is.

Even otn and Shen44 are smart enough to realize one cannot
make a living with a sailing endorsement. There just aren't
enough jobs of the sort available. Being a Master of Steam
and Motor Vessels is the way the majority of professionals
such as myself make a living - not via sailing endorsements.

So, Rick, please go away with your foolish statements and
goofy arguments because if you keep it up you're gonna need
to join the professional clown actor's guild.

ROFL Who's the we? Hey Neal, you're the admitted "troll".
We all know that trolls throw out lies as truths, to see what they can snag.
Apoligize? For what? For finally getting you to admit you've been
trolling/lying?
Hell, for all we know, you used the name of someone with a real license, as
proof you have one.
Your knowledge of the COLREGS, alone puts your ownership of any license in
question.

Bubye, Neal, EG it's been fun.

Actually, I believe I said you couldn't be a "master" of a sailboat, which is true. My

Exactly as I said. Now the real facts are these. This poster claims to be
named Neal or Neal Warren. There is a Neal Warren that holds a 25 Ton Power
Boat License. We have not information that the two are the same. As far as
passengers are concerned the answer is simple as simon can be . . .if you
could somehow fit six passengers on a Coronado . . . . .where would you find
six passengers silly enough to pay for going on a Coronado? Are there truly

Also, words on a license are one thing, and what those words mean to
those of us who "are", are another .... Do you have a MMD (Z-card)?

Try to understand, Neal, what the USCG says, is not the final word
within the industry, it's just the governmental, beauracratic take, on
the issue, for the purpose of licensing.
If you really do have a 25 ton license, we give you credit for getting
it. However, if all you have done is get the license and never used it
(which appears to be the case), then, to those of us who "are", you have
simply spent some minimal time and taken a minor test, which proved only
that you could pass the test (talk the talk) not that you could do the
job (walk the walk).
Try to understand, Neal, there are many "professional" mariners out
there, be they 6-pac or unlimited Masters, whose life, profession, etc.,
revolves around being on the water..... a license, does NOT make you a
professional, it just makes you a license holder ..... and THAT, Neal,

The first two did. They were so crowded it was just about impossible to do
emails. A small chance at internet web pages and zero for newsgroups. I
sent tons of stuff during those days. Little vignettes of the journey and
so on. Apparently they went South along with everything else including a
good deal of the 'green stuff'. Oh well. No fool like an old fool. Back
to the cell phone hookup. I have the 600 business day and unlimited rest of
the time plan which runs $39.95 plus $19.95 for unlimited internet access.
Probably some other deals like this but a lot of the cell companies have
real bad reputations. The worst I've found so far is Cingular. Had there
insurance plan, lost the phone, two plus months later all I've received is
the same "USED" and "BROKEN" phone twice. You have to spend literally hours
on the phone to get anywhere and then the stillscam you. I've been taping
the conversations though. Once they say they are taping you can do the same
without further question or comment. Right now I've got enough, in the
event any class action stuff starts, to show conspiracy to defraud and a
clear RICO violation. Depending on how many others bothered to keep the
proof. On a similar side off topic issue. The same thing applies when an
airlines knowling overbooks and takes your money only to deny you space on a
flight. US Air and for sure United are prime examples. I had three of the
United employees all admittig they oversold on purpose and as company
policy. Bingo . ..conspiracy to defraud and given the price of the tickets
.. .RICO! All it took was to mention this wasn't a civil violation but a
criminal violation and 'by the way how do you spell your name?" All of
sudden a seat on the flight magically appeared.

Question: If printed US dollars are 'legal tender" how come they can be
refused as payment? (rental car companies, airline ticket counters e.g.)
Just thought I'd ask.

Anyway . . T Mobile so far has done a good job for me so I'm not complaining
especially after those scum suckers at Cingular. Oh yes, you have to buy
the hookup cord separate.

I don't know about your license but mine says the following
in nice big letters:

BTW as long as your a United States Merchant Marine Officer your
welcome to the officer quarters onboard RedCloud any time your in
Galveston or Houston.

Also Goes for any USCG Pilot. I still owe you one.

And it looks damn good hanging on the bulkhead. Has a picture of a big
ol Ship like the USS America and a Cargo vessel, that the snipes have
seperate quarter on the stern, with the smoke. And a offshore tug.
Most likey an engraving from the 1930's. Kinda Purdy.
