snipped some boring stuff
I call my boat a tug because that is the original design and
construction and it faithfully retains the original lines and
appearance. It is, however, a yacht in function and interior finish.

Glad you agree with me that a yacht is a pleasure boat
as opposed to a work boat.

You do not have a yacht as trailer boats and mass produced plastic
consumer grade toys such as yours do not meet any of the standards
considered when describing a yacht.

My blue water, modified, cruising Coronado 27
meets or exceeds all yacht definition expectations
on a daily basis. Construction materials do not and
never have defined what constitutes a yacht. It is
a definition based solely on parameters of pleasure
use. I maintain I derive more pleasure using my
yacht day in and day out than you perform your
weekly maintenance chores there at the dock.

You seem to have forgotten that the definition of
a yacht is based on USE. When used as a pleasure
boat a vessel can be called a yacht. Use means
actually getting out on the water and going places.
A vessel that just sits at a dock and is constantly
spit-shined is a pretend yacht for it is not even
being used as a boat - only a show piece. (Some
would say eyesore!)

Sorry Nil, once again you are out of your depth. You are not a sailor, a
seafarer, a yacht owner, or a reliable source of nautical information.
Your exposure to nautical matters is limited to the scope of your swamp
mooring and it shows when you attempt to post information about subjects
so far beyond your seriously limited experience. It is increasingly and
daily more obvious that you are indeed nothing more than a wannabe with
a broken trailer boat.

Good luck. I can take my yacht right now and
commence a voyage around the world and stand
a very great chance of success. Can you say the
same? Geez! You probably can't even afford the
necessary fuel let alone get a passport. You've
probably never even been out of sight of land.
PUTZ!
