Actually, I believe I said you couldn't be a "master" of a sailboat, which is true. My
main argument was against your use of the ColRegs to prove an issue of licensing.

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.

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.
