General Description

Your boat category is too general (sailboat, powerboat etc.)? Then use the following rule:
If the boat is larger than 9 m and has at least one cabin, it is a yacht (sail-yacht oder power-yacht).
If it is smaller but has a cabin, it is a cabin boat (sail-cabin oder power-cabin).
If it is small and without cabin, it can be: with jet propulsion a jet ski (pwc-jetski) or a day cruiser (sail-daysailer, power-daycruiser).
