Breezy,
Run don't walk to the nearest MMP hall and get the 12 months you need to upgrade. An MSC berth for a year will give you more time off than a yacht and the time is more valuable. You will be working on your license and treated with the respect and working conditions you have earned. When you submit the paperwork for your 2nd's ticket apply for the 1600 ton master. DO NOT waste your time with any of the yachtie tickets, your 1600 ton will get you an MCA Certificate of Equivalent Competency that will put you light years ahead of the competition and will have real value in the maritime world away from yachts as well as in the yacht industry. Don't waste your last 4 years. If you move to a yacht after some real sea time and further training you will be in a position to bring some needed professionalism to the industry.
