Thanks for the recommendations so far.

I have a question for Jack since he is a CYA instructor.

Up here, you need some kind of licence if the boat has a motor over a certain HP; 10 HP I think it is, which is why I assume I see so many sailboats with 9.9 HP or less.

If a sailboat has a diesel inboard with 30 hp for example, do you need...and if so, is the licence the same as a power boat operator's licence (or whatever the actual term is)?
