Mick,
Wasn't it the mate that put her on the rocks while the Captain was
asleep?

A friend and I were having a discussion, I stated that if I had the
money
to
buy an ocean liner and just used it for personal pleasure (no paying
passengers) I didn't need a captain's (master's) license. I said that it
might be a bit of a problem finding someone willing to insure you
though.
My
friend disagreed, he said that after 60 feet the boat required a
captain's
license. (just to keep this post on topic to this newsgroup I'll state
that
my friend is a Republican and I'm basically a Democrat, but we don't
discuss
this at all.) :-) So I ask the group. was I correct? Also is there a
point
(size wise) where insurance companies want you to have credentials such
as
a
master's license or previous experience?

It wasn't "the" mate, it was the 3rd Mate ...big difference, and I doubt the
Captain was asleep as he had to take departure, send messages and complete
various tidbits of paperwork.
