I think the factors that make me think "...Hmm. I think the factors that make me think "yacht" when I look at a boat are mostly Pat's first definition (a boat used for pleasure) plus size. Sorry gents, but <br /><br />when you're trying to decide<br />what's yacht & what's not, <br />I think it matters, <br />rather a lot! <br /><br />I also tend think of a yacht as being a craft you can comfortably live on for extended periods of time - but then I don't know if that would be true of the classic racing yachts. <br /><br />Maybe the definition of yacht is like that classic non-definition that ended, "But I know it when I see it"?bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283526.post-76332846478545626542010-05-14T07:35:34.955+00:002010-05-14T07:35:34.955+00:00Yacht at its core is simply a boat used for pleasu...Yacht at its core is simply a boat used for pleasure. <br /><br />Now, a proper yacht is a much more refined create of wind and water.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417115374524861438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283526.post-11658522673580441402010-05-14T03:30:36.701+00:002010-05-14T03:30:36.701+00:00Trophy Wife identifies this beauty as a 30 Metre. ...Trophy Wife identifies this beauty as a 30 Metre.
