Donal said something like any sail boat over 18 foot is a yacht. And
if you sail a boat over 18 foot you can call yourself a Yachtie.

I thought yacht has nothing to do with power or sail.

I always thought of a yacht as something in the 100 footer range owned
by someone like Mr. Thrump, with a similar attitude. Something only
the super rich have as a plush toy complete with crew.

Has Donal cheapened the meaning, or was my vision to lofty.

And when does a boat become a ship? And could that have somethig to do
with defining a yacht?
