The original yacht True Love was an Alden Marabal VII Schooner. It was used in an old movie filmed in the 1950's with Bing Crosby and is still actively sailing out of St Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Last heard of in Saphire Bay and supposed to be available for charter in the near future if not already. We were in St Thomas in March of 2009, and we were told at Sapphire Marina that True Love has moved to a Lake in upstate New York. She was beautifully restored a few years ago and is a fine vessel. We enjoyed may sails aboard and were thrilled to take the helm for most of a day. By the way, I believe the correct term is Alden "Malabar" VII schooner. BB, Westminster, CO.
No, a yacht and a sailboat are not necessarily the same. The sailboat is, as its name implies, a watercraft that moves under wind power. The yacht, on the other hand, could be a sailboat, but it does not have to be. The yacht is a larger vessel (usually over 30 feet in length) used for recreation, and the yacht can be (and usually is) classified as either a sailing vessel or a motor craft.

Most likely an Abeking & Rasmussen Ketch, 55' or so. Boats built in the golden age of yacht building 20's - 40's.

The Class 40 sailboat is a type of yacht mainly used for offshore and coastal sailing. They are generally monohulls and are considered high-performance racing boats.
It appears to be a Beneteau First 456. Best guess--lines are right for that particular boat (style, hull and transom), plus you can see "First 456" on the side of the boat, which fits for that yacht.
Will Smith and Kevin James starred in the 2005 movie Hitch.
Yes RC yacht races are a popular hobby amongst the RC enthusiasts. These can include small sailboats to large yachts as well. http://sailboat-racing.purzuit.com/video/4mjdhMQ4rQY.html
