Captains License?

"cavelamb" wrote in message m... Our local marina is hosting a Captain's License course (six pack) next month. Other than being able to charge passengers for passage, what would be a good reason to have a captains ticket. Also? What's the legal down side? You can lie about your past drug abuse, and still get your license. You can pick up a lot of guys in the sailing classes that you teach. Those young studs will really be impressed with your license. Well, what do you know, a Gaynze sock! Wilbur Hubbard |
Captains License?
JG,
Sorry if that came across as abrupt. I was interrupted by the dinner bell. I suspect the requirements don't include a Captains ticket because one would be working under the umbrella of the school. If one were to open a new school, you would probably be right. Richard |

I would take the course if one were offered near me just to gain the information. Self study isn't always good enough because you don't know what to study.

I started out with a Coast Guard ticket in the mid '70s while on active duty in the Navy. In the last year I've taken most of the ASA classes. My next step with ASA is an instructor rating :). I was thinking about the 6pack course to get a Captains ticket, but I don't really need it for what I'm doing. It is not needed to teach through ASA. Still considering it, but will probably pass this time. Maybe some day though... But I'm curious how many of our local experts have a Captains license? Or even training from a school like ASA? Richard Most schools, either ASA or USSailing, will require a CG license if you're teaching on a boat with an engine. 50GT here with sailing and towing endorsements. Not mentioned on the ASA site... http://www.asa.com/instructors/instructor_clinics.html US Sailing requirements... http://training.ussailing.org/Teachi...rerequ isites Candidates holding a current USCG full or limited Master's or OUPV license are exempt from this requirement. Candidates have a responsibility to meet the boating laws of the state where the course is being held prior to being able to operate a powerboat in conjunction with the course. This is a new requirement. Please bring your certificate to the course. Interesting that it isn't. It's a Federal requirement (USCG). -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Richard Not at all... I have my priorities also. :) The school requires it, generally. I can't think of a commercial school that doesn't. One of them didn't know about the TWIC requirement (it was fairly hidden at the beginning), but as soon as they learned about it, they broadcast it to the instructors. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

I'll call the school owner tomorrow and find out what the deal is. Probably a good idea... I do know one place out here that lets you "work" while you get your license. They typically have you on non-powered boats or shadowing a licensed instructor. Same thing goes with ASA/USSailing certs. You "work" off someone else's cert until you get yours. I believe USSailing gives them 16 mos., but don't quote me. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Altruism is so suspect these days. I agree with that for sure. As long as you or the company isn't being paid (or no engine or in a couple of other special situations), then there's no doubt you can teach without a license. I volunteer a lot these days, which is good for me and, one hopes, the students who can't afford a regular class. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
