LARGE
SAILING YACHTS Sailing yachts can range in overall length (Length Over All - LOA, in yachting parlance) from about 6 m (20 feet) to well over 30 m (98 ft), where the distinction between a yacht and a ship becomes blurred. However, most privately owned yachts fall in the range of about 7 m to 14 m (about 23-46 ft); the cost of building and keeping a yacht rises quickly as length increases. In the US, sailors tend to refer to smaller yachts as sailboats, while referring to the general sport of sailing as yachting. (Note: within the limited context of sailboat racing, a yacht is any sailing vessel partaking in a race, regardless of size). |
