RT, I think you'll find that virtually anywhere else in the world, 'yacht' means sailing vessel, except when prefixed with motor = 'motor yacht' = large rich persons vessel.

I think that one is actually a Hunter 19'. One of those was sailed out to NZ from the UK years ago actually, amazing as that may sound. It took a very long time.
