What is the difference between a yachtsman and
a sailor?

A sailor sails. A yachtsman may sail or, like me, simply spend so much
time
working on his boat that he has little or no time to sail.

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...

The yachtsman seeks a higher standard of interior fit and
finish. Beyond functional, into elegant.

For his character, he would not stoop to respond to baiting or
trolls.
