    Define yacht then

    Edit: oh, it seems, the American English strikes again

    As per UK definition I’m accustomed to, a yacht is:

    a boat with sails and sometimes an engine, used for either racing or travelling on for pleasure

    While the US definition is:

    a large and usually expensive boat, used for racing or for traveling around for pleasure

    Although this, too, doesn’t rule out a yacht not necessarily being expensive, and don’t really say what’s large in actual size
