tugboat painted the wood and polished the brass
and uses it as a yacht and I bet the fool even calls
it a yacht. So the answer to your question is, "Yes!".

Yep. It is a tugboat converted from commercial use to pleasure and
finished to what the industry refers to as "yacht standards" of finish
and fixtures. It is a yacht as opposed to a working vessel of any other
class.

There are many examples of former tugs, patrol vessels, minesweepers,
and coastal freighters converted to yacht use. The current crop of
"trawler yachts" are imitations of these conversions.

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.

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.

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.
