You are absolutely right and you are not the exception. The licence is not a requirement for someone who just wants to sail. There are few approved courses around from basic to advanced for training and knowledge. There is one thing I have learned and it is printed with permanent ink in my forehead, Fear is the beginning of every great adventure and real training starts when you turn your head aft and you realize that you lost sight of land. But one needs to have a basic knowledge of sailing, weather and survival. One needs to know how to read the horizon, the stars and the sun.

I have been a member of other lists like CYOA and Liveaboard for many years. Some information will let you know that I have a sailor wannabe sing I was born on my fathers custom build wooden sailboat while circumnavigating. Since then somehow saltwater sipped into my veins and cant get rid of it. Long story short, due to unfortunate situations and steps forward I had to sell my Columbia 8.7 a year and a half ago Christmas. I set my eyes on an C&C Invader 36 that needs a lot of work and it is basically gutted with an old 3 cylinder Volvo with a hugemangus flywheel in the front. Any way nice to meet you all Captains and Admirals. I just want to add to this conversation, if anyone of you is familiar with manufacturing floor. Liability in Licencing is like yellow lines on a plant floor. If they are laid out you have to abide by them, So, if you have a licence you are lyable because you have training and someone else said you should know better.

I might be misunderstanding - not unusual - but it sounds like having a CG/6-pack/whatever license increases one's liability on the water. "He should have known better, he was licensed".

And yes, there are still time-on-the-water requirements: http://www.maritimeinstitute.com/license_requirements.html Ive been torn on the whole question of getting licensed; yes, you can captain vessels for pay (deliveries, excursions, etc.). But even if youre not on the clock and are involved in an accident (like on your own vessel), whether or not youre at fault, there are some legal ramifications that arent there if youre not CG-licensed. So Ive held off on getting my ticket.
