This is really hard work!

There are probably millions of of small vessels over here as well. The
term "yacht" has nothing to do with the quantity of boats.

I get the impression that if somebody in the US claimed to have a "yacht",
that he would be boasting. When I say that I have a yacht, I am not
boasting. OTOH, if I claimed that I had a "motor yacht" - then I would be
boasting.

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.
