Re a C27 as a yacht ... I donated a afternoon sail and on-board dinner on my boat for a silent auction at the church. Advertised it as "Spend a day on your very own yacht." So someone comes up to me and says, "You own a yacht?" all big-eyed. I replied, "It's only a 'yacht' if you want to get someone to pay a bunch of money. Otherwise, it's just a boat."

The article quoted one of the people talking about owning a yacht and said, "The world is divided into 2 classes; The HAVES and the HAVE Yachts!" I figure my $6K Catalina pushes me into the "Have Yachts" side.
