And if the sailing endorsement is useless, so is your license. Or do you have visions of
using it to drive a water taxi?


I don't see how you can claim my license is
useless without a sail endorsement. My Master's
license allows me to take people out on an aux/sail
boat and charge them money to do it. Whether I
start the motor or not my Master's license is sufficient
to make me a legal operation. The only way I'm
not legal is if I attempt to captain a pure sailing vessel
for hire.

Yours is a common misconception about the sailing
endorsement. Actually, the sailing endorsement is almost
useless because there are really so few sailboats large
enough to charter that don't have motors.

I hope I've been of some help here.
