To those of us attached/embarked on the USS Enterprise, she was affectionately known as "the boat"...to anyone else, she was the "mighty warship".

Easy: Yachts cannot be trailered, boats can

Now we’ll need to start a new thread to define “trailered”. 🙂

Not really sure But I think it is Conceded a Yacht when the Boat is 65' or more in Length. It might be 85' not Sure.

A lot of interesting comments here, but by definition.....

To be termed a yacht, as opposed to a boat, such a pleasure vessel is likely to be at least 33 feet (10 m) in length and may have been judged to have good aesthetic qualities. The Commercial Yacht Code classifies yachts 79 ft (24 m) and over as large.
