But I also want to put in a good mention for their remodeling of their vessel, though I'm not sure if it's big enough to be a ship.
@alienghic recently I watch a video trying to explain the difference between boats and ships.
Their conclusion was that boats lean inwards when turning and ships lean outwards. However, their only example of a "boat" was a speedboat with outboard engines that turned. I think the lean was more caused by the difference between turning the thrust and turning rudders.
Anyway, I struggle with naming. I don't like using yacht, to me it implies a billionaire's toy.
So maybe just Sailing boat?

@SustainableSailing @alienghic The definitions I've heard:
* Almost anything you can navigate on water is a boat
* If it carries smaller boats (e.g. a tender or a dinghy) it's also a ship
* If it's a pleasurecraft and has sleeping quarters, it's also a yacht

@cwebber The street I grew up on was named after a Greek Sea Nymph, who’s name sake was given to seven British RN ships; The first of which was launched in 1776.
