The Coastal Skipper Course is
"...to teach the skills & techniques required to skipper a cruising yacht (7-15m LOA)...."
That's quoted from my syllabus and logbook.
So I would assume that a minimum for accumulating miles is a minimum of 7 metres LOA.

Not set in stone however, AFAIK. I have been told that if they are the "right kind of miles" those accumulated in my Hurley 22 (6.7m) would be acceptable and even that I might be allowed to do a YM in her, always supposing I could find an examiner prepared to put to sea in a luxuryless pocket cruiser. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

My instructor was happy to accept a couple of years poodling around in a 19 footer combined with Comp Crew and Day Skipper on school boats as satisfactory.
Makes sense to me - you probably ought to do the Coastal Skipper BEFORE you go coastal sailing in a logical world.
