ヨット

ヨット (from English 'yacht') refers to sailboats, particularly recreational ones.

Common expressions

• ヨットに乗(の)る: to ride on a yacht
• ヨットを操(あやつ)る: to sail a yacht
• ヨットレース: yacht race
• ヨット部(ぶ): yacht club (at school)
• ヨットハーバー: yacht harbor, marina

Note: In Japanese, ヨット generally refers to sailboats, not necessarily large luxury boats as 'yacht' sometimes implies in English. For motorboats, クルーザー or モーターボート is used.
