I'm still too inexperienced but in the future I'd like to consider taking
the OUPV exam. One of the prerequisites is 360 days of boat experience.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how is that evaluated exactly? Is it
360 x 24 hours of sailing time? Or is it 360 discrete sailing events? I
assume it's the former.

Also, what kind of records are needed for verification? I keep a very
accurate sailing log, but it's on my computer and I don't have verification
signatures.

It'd be useful to know these things so I can plan ahead.

The Coast Guard has all of the info on their web site.

Anything over 4 hours of on water time is considered a day.

I can''t say how strongly you should read the regs off the USCG site
yourself. The OUPV section isn't bad and then you wont have people
giving you bad info. WHich happens alot with licensing trivia.
