Adding Multiple Skippers to the Crew List

The crew list is an important document to have on board when sailing. It lists all the individuals who will be on the boat during a trip, and their roles and responsibilities. In some cases, you may want to have more than one skipper listed on the crew list. This is possible as long as at least one licensed skipper is included.

It's important to note that even if you have multiple licensed skippers on board, it's recommended to assign one as the responsible person for the trip. This person will be in charge of making decisions and ensuring the safety of everyone on board.

When starting your day on the boat, it's important to designate a responsible person for that day. This person should be familiar with the boat and its safety procedures, and should be able to handle any emergencies that may arise.

In summary, as long as at least one licensed skipper is on the crew list, you can add multiple people as skippers. However, it's important to assign a responsible person for the trip and designate a responsible person for each day on the boat.
