There's no need to be sorry. Neal makes these claims from
time to time. I've always suggested he get in touch with the
local CG unit, since they need a good laugh, but he never
does.

Sorry. I've checked with both USsailing and the USCG. A license is not
needed for what we do. We do not take paying customers in our boats
(except
for a rescue). They are 10' single handed sailing dinghies. We do not
even
tow the boats except in a rescue situation.
Now Ganz on the other hand might need a license for what he does.

You'd better get a license! You're breaking the law.

Think you'd better read up.

Not so or there would be no need for a sailing endorsement on
a Master's license.

Only on an auxiliary powered vessel.

Type of boat doesn't matter unless you are NOT on it.

If you give lessons in exchange for pay and if you are
aboard and the student is aboard you need a license.

If you had a captain's license, you would know the answer to
that
question.
Think about the type of boats we're using.

How is it that you can train kids for money and not have
a USCG Captain's license?

Finished the last week of our summer sailing camp. Gone
are
the
whining
little kids. Gone are the 8 hour days of dinghy sailing.
Gone
are
the
bikini clad assistants.
All in all it wasn't bad, though this session was the
worst.
80% of
this
sessions kids couldn't (or wouldn't) sail when they
arrived.
Turned
them
all into competent sailors. The mom of the biggest whiner
gave
me
two
cases
of Dos Equis for getting her son to get over his fear of
the
water
and
sailing.
