What is the difference between a yachtsman and
a sailor?

Y'know, forgive me for being serious a minute... but between you and
Thom, I think you really have defined the difference. A sailor is
somebody who sails... and works on his own boat... and would not hire
somebody else to do the sailing for him, because that's what he enjoys
most. A sailor is self-reliant and does as much of his own work as he
can. A yachtsman is content to hire somebody... maybe even brags about it...
