In modern use the term designates
two rather different classes of watercraft, sailing and power boats. Yachts are different from
working ships mainly by their leisure purpose, and it was not until the rise of
the steamboat and other types of powerboat that sailing vessels in general came to be perceived as
luxury, or recreational vessels. Later the term came to encompass motor boats
for primarily private pleasure purposes as well.
