ROFL I'd love to be a fly on the bulkhead, the day you try to sling this
lame excuse at Uncle Sammies USCG.
You're license is useless, Neal, like it or lump it .... course
considering the person holding it.......

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.
