Yacht Jobs
Yachts vary from merchant ships or navy ships mainly
by their leisure reason. A yacht
is an entertaining and leisure boat. Present
use of the term yacht allocates
two different classes of watercraft, free sailing boats 
and motor power boats. Yacht
flags are different from merchant ship flags in order to indicate that the
yacht is not carrying any freight that requires a customs statement. Shipping
business goods on a boat with a yacht flag is considered to be smuggling in
many authorities.
Yacht lengths normally range from 10 metres
(33 ft) up to many meters (hundreds of feet). Cabin cruiser or simply a
cruiser is a luxury craft smaller than 12 metres (39 ft) in size. A yacht
(sail or power) above 24 m (79 ft) is usually called a super yacht
and a yacht over 50 metres (164 ft) is called a mega yacht which are
smaller in size in comparison to usual
oil tankers, bulk carriers, container vessel, cruise liners etc.
Nearly, all yachts till the 1950s were made of
wood or steel, but now a day other materials are also applied. While today
wooden hulls are also applied for yachts, fiberglass is mostly used as building
material for yacht, but carbon fibre, aluminium, steel. Ferrocement is also
used but because of insurance difficulties it is rarely used.
An atmosphere and cost-effective friendly ways of
propulsion is sailing. A fusion type of yacht is a motor sailing yacht that can
use either sail or propulsion (or both) as situations require. Now even "genuine"
sailing yachts are also equipped with a low powered combustion engine for
application in states of calm wind and when arriving or departing complex
anchorages area.
Yachts less than 7 metres i.e, around 23 ft
in length usually carry an outboard petrol engine of between 3.5 and 30
kilowatts (5 and 40 hp). Bigger yachts have inboard diesel engines of
between 15 and 75 kilowatts (20 and 101 hp) depending its size. Generally
7–14-metre (23–46 ft) yachts category, engines of 15 to 30 kilowatts (20
to 40 hp) are most commonly used.
The hydrocarbon fuel consumption can be reduced
by fitting modern sailing yachts with electric inboard motors. To regenerate
electricity (motogens) an outboard electric pod drives are now being used in
the most recent machinery. To increase the efficiency of the yacht these
motogens can be made retractable. Several of these yachts are exceptionally
efficient and do not require extra diesel generator sets. And this method is known
as Green Motion.
Yachts of both types i.e, monohulled and
catamarans now are using this technology and are nearly free from hydrocarbon
fuel. Yacht builders are now fitting the Green Motion system on board. Mono-hull yachts
are a fixed keel or a centre board i.e,
adjustable keel below the waterline to compensate the capsizing force of wind
on the yacht's navigation. Multi-hull yachts
are of dual-hulls i.e, cata-marans or
tri-hulls i.e, tri-marans hulls broadly separated from each other to
provide a steady bottom that opposes capsizing.
Commonly, motor yachts fit into the subsequent
categories:
- Day cruiser yachts, which have no room, light
amenities.
- Weekender yachts, which have necessary galley
appliances and plumbing and one or two essential compartments.
- Cruising yachts, which have enough facilities to permit
for living aboard for prolonged times.
- Sport fishing yachts, which have living facilities and
sporting fishing gears.
- Luxury yachts which are alike to the last three types
of yachts, with more comfortable facilities.
Yacht travel depends on appropriate weather
conditions. In order to stay away from bad sailing weather conditions, the
yacht users are required to pursue a specific travel calendar.
