The word comes from the Dutch "Jacht", which in Lojban would be {iaxt}. 
So I'd suggest "blotriaxti" (probably not so pretty), or a stage-4 
"iaxti" (the final i is taken from bloti). Of course, Jacht means hunt 
(n), but the purpose of Jachts have shifted and are indeed more about 
luxury and leisure or about racing nowadays(and who knows what else).
