YM Motor Qualification

[alant]

According to the RYA, YM Motor, can be done using a vessel between 7 metres-24 metres length, powered by single, twin or outdrive engine (s).
If this is indeed the accepted requirement, leaving aside the obvious vast differences in the handling charecteristics of these widely differing types (with no specification for engine power/boat speed/displacement hull versus planing hull), does this mean that you can be examined using a 'sailing boat' under engine only?
If not, why not?

Yes, I believe so, as that is just about what happened to someone I know.

Can you pls advise if this does occur, it is of interest to many people wanting to convert to Motor from sail as well. Another post on YM, does mention that the candidate must provide a Motor Vessel, but my original description was directly from RYA Training Dept & only refers to 'vessel'.
