Auscan`s Cuddles 30 with FD,sails,a proper mast,a 4cyl diesel,trawler features,sleeping and living accommodation,etc,covers most classifications.
At least on the east coast, if principally a sailing boat bigger than a sailing dinghy or skiff, it`s called a yacht. Powered boats are powerboats, cruisers,and if large and handsome and maybe opulent too,motor yachts.
A yachtie is an owner or crew of a sailing boat/yacht, but not of a motor yacht.
Trawlers are not the norm in powerboats,and not nearly as popular as planing cruisers, like Rivieras, Maritimos, etc.
More exhaustive is more boring, so that`ll do. As always, there is room for other views.
