Attachment and Requirements for the Sailing Endorsement on Master's Licenses
What license can the Sailing Endorsement be attached to?
The Sailing Endorsement can only be attached to a Master's level license. You CANNOT add it onto an OUPV license since the OUPV/Six-Pack license already covers uninspected sailing vessels.
Is there additional sea time required?
Yes, additional sea time is required to add the Sailing Endorsement to a Master's license:
For a Master's Inland or Mate Near Coastal License, you must document at least 180 days of service on a sail or auxiliary sailing vessel
For a Master's Near Coastal License, you must document at least 360 days of service on a sail or auxiliary sailing vessel
This documentation ensures you have the necessary experience to safely operate inspected sailing vessels.
