A Yacht is a recreational boat. It designates two
rather different classes of watercraft, sailing
and power yachts. Yachts are differentiated from
working ships mainly by their leisure purpose. It
was not until the ascendancy of the steamboat and
other types of powerboat that sailing vessels in
general came to be perceived as luxury items. However,
since the level of luxury on larger yachts has seen
an increasing trend, the use of the word yacht to
mean any sailing vessel has been diminishing and
is more and more limited to racing yachts or cruising
yachts.
Yacht lengths generally start at 32·35 feet
(10·11 m) and go up to hundreds of feet.
A mega yacht generally refers to any yacht (sail
or power) above 100' or 34 m and a super yacht generally
refers to any yacht over 200' or 70 m. This size
is small in relation to typical cruise liners and
oil tankers... |
