And over here, there are millions of small vessels, thus the generally
accepted definition of a yacht being a very large vessel.

Over here the definition is the same, but I have never heard anyone
refer
to
their vessel as a "yacht".

Over here, anybody with an 18 foot+ sailing vessel will call it a yacht.
That's why there are no conotations attached to the term.
