Excerpt from Notes on Yachts: First Series The word yacht is applied to a class of vessels used for seafaring as a sport, comprising a great variety of craft of all sizes, from the decked or half-decked boat that can be navigated by one man, to the floating home that can circumnavigate the globe. Yachting is probably the most difficult, complicated, and comprehensive of all those pursuits which are denominated sport, pursuits which are at once laborious and æsthetic, recreative yet exciting, pursuits requiring an energy which is its own end and reward.
