Re: [lojban] Yacht

Also, Cruise Ships are always big. So that gives us two differentiation points: Cruise ships are big, and used for trips of leisure, yachts are much smaller, though usually bigger than speedboats, and are used for leisure in general.

And yes, I know yachts are also used for leisure trips. My point is that yachts are defined by being a boat for leisure, whereas cruise ships are defined by being a boat for leisure trips.

A yacht is not necesarily a "big boat" (ship). Surely you'd admit that
this: http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/photo_gallery.jsp?&hosturl=jarrettbay&&ywo=jarrettbay&slim=broker&boat_id=2438509&boatname=9m+Sea+Ray+260+Sundancer&photo_revised_date=1328305158000&photo_name=Miz+Wally&photo=0&url="">
is not a "big boat", more likely, just a boat; but it's a yacht anyway.

I'm also more inclined for lujvo; it seems many lojbanists look for
ancient words to make fu'ivla with no matter the end result is almost
unpronounceable. But {za'i surla kei barda bloti} also describes a
cruise ship, and a cruise ship is not a yacht. I think the private
usage nature of a yacht should be clearly stated.
