This is how people roll in a commercial fishing boat:

Much larger than most yachts, but we still don't call it a yacht. I wonder why? :think:

If you're gonna call it a yacht, but you can't even land a helicopter on it, I just don't know how you can look at yourself in the mirror.

The word yacht does not refer to the size of a boat. It refers to the purpose of design and level of luxury onboard. A yacht is designed for comfort and pleasure. It's a kind of boat. It's like saying something is not a fishing boat because it's too big or too small, despite what it was designed for.

And that Maxi 999 looks pretty sweet. It's only 32 feet but I could easily live in there longterm.

and I could put a leather seat, shag carpet, and a wood grained instrument panel in a jon boat, but it's still a boat.

Can you imagine someone coming down to the boat ramp with a high end pontoon boat trying to tell people he has a yacht?

Well, that's not a yacht, so I am not sure where you think you are going with this.

No doubt. That is one slick looking sail boat.

A yacht is just a luxury boat. Has little to do with size.
