YACHT or BOAT

[daiquiri]

I love the way this thread is developing.

[PAR]

If you take your alcohol out of a glass container, it's a yacht, if it comes from a carton or can, it's a boat . . .

[daiquiri]

If you can walk into the cabin with two Playboy mates by your sides, it's a yacht.
If you can enter inside only by moving sideways like a crab, it's a boat.

[daiquiri]

A generalization of the above:

If there are a bunch of Playboy mates suntanning at the upper deck, it's a yacht.
If there are only a couple of unshaved fishing mates guzzling beer and burping on the one and only deck you have - it's a boat.

This is really going well...lol.

From Henry Beard & Roy McKie - "A Sailor's Dictionary".

Yacht:
Any recreational craft whose owner or user is not responsible for her upkeep, or whose owner recognizes sufficient tax benefits from his ownership to defray all operating expenses. Also commonly used to describe any boat prior to its purchase, and by many boat owners to describe their vessel to persons who have never seen it and are never likely to do so.
