Polly Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I was doing a Face Time thingy with small grandson; he was toting the current treasure, which was a flashcard picture of a saily. 'Boat' says I all helpfully, 'Yacht' corrected my daughter, and there on the reverse, was the word in question. I started to wonder...I never refer to Briiliant as a yacht, I call her a 'boat', 'sailing boat', or 'sailing cruiser'; why is that? Why have I never heard anyone else on the Broads talk about yachts either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Polly, hi. Wikipedia give as good a definition as I've seen:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacht Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Ahhh thanks! Brilliant is 9ft short of being a yacht then, as are most of them on the Broads; and of course, on reflecton, there are Wherry Yachts lurking about. ⛵️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
