A large luxurious boat with a motor (dict. Of leis., Trav. And tour., 2008, 345P.) Yacht originally a term for a fast merchant ship or sail boat which were used to chase smuggler‟s boats, today the term refers to an elegant, fast, larger boat equipped with a cabin and used for sport competitions and recreational boating (sometimes also a smaller luxury boat). Depending on the means for propulsion one differentiates between motor yachts which are driven by a diesel motor, and sailing yacht, large ocean-going sailboats which can be used for overseas and coastal tours (ocean yachts) as well as for sailing regattas. The sailing yacht has a covered hull, a forward-running bow, a water- unloading stern, and a large sail area. Depending on the type of understructure sailing yachts can be further differentiated into keel yachts (with fixed ballast keel), center-board yachts (with a retractable center-board), and kell-center-board yachts (with ballast kell and retractable center-board).
