    First of all, you’re wrong: any sailboat that has a cabin for living aboard, even if it’s a shitty dilapidated Catalina 27 that you buy for $1, is a “yacht.”

    Second, even if you were right, don’t bitch at me, bitch at the article writer. They’re the ones who first called it a “yacht,” even though from the video you can clearly see that it’s way smaller than 24 meters.


    I found another article about the incident that contained enough information to track down exactly which boat it was: “Oceanview” owned by Nautic Squad Club, a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349. Only 34 feet long, yet still described as a “yacht” by literally everybody but you.

    By the way, most of the listings for that model of boat on Yachtworld are under $200k.
