The yacht angle: 40–70 m US-flag yachts

USCG-MASTER1600-M1 · Structure, authority and the yacht · USCG-MASTER1600-M1-A The eight endorsements, manning under Part 15, GRT versus GT and the 40–70 m yacht. 4 lessons.

Between about 40 and 70 m, US-flag yachts usually sit in the **200–1,600 GRT** band and often over **500 GT**. That puts both a national 500/1,600 ticket and an STCW endorsement on the bridge.

AI-drafted catalogue content pending SME review. The national ticket is measured in GRT while the STCW endorsement that normally accompanies it is measured in GT, and NMC checklist wording (notably recency) currently differs from 46 CFR 11.201; verify with the National Maritime Center and the current checklist before applying.
