Well, a yacht is usually defined as a small sailing vessel, but this is not the place for a semantic argument - I'll call it a boat if you like.

It's a dutch word anyway so you probably know better than me :wink:

heh, don't get me started...

the word comes from the Dutch 'jacht', which means hunt - so hunting boat.

So I guess the guy standing in his D5 shooting ducks can also claim it as his 'yacht'!

Sorry for reviving such an old thread but I'm curious... How did the 8ft'er work out. Thinking about building a GV10 but i think a 8-9 foot boat would be perfect for what i'm looking for. Thanks!
