While there is no fixed definition, historically a 'yacht' has always been any vessel intended for pleasure use that provides accomodation for extended stays. All sailboats that have long term accomodation and space for provisions (meaning anything over about 30-40') are yachts.
The two designations are S/V "Boat Name" and S/Y "Boat Name"
While many people refer to luxury megayachts as yachts, this is simply a truncation of "megayacht" for the uninitiated. A "yacht" can cost anywhere from a few grand for a crusty old boat rotting away on a mooring, to the megayacht price scale. It's not determined by price: it's an actual nautical term describing a specific use of a boat.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The term "yacht" typically refers to a very rich man's (or woman's) recreational boat, (or vessel) of which is a minimum of 50 feet in length, and is extremely, luxuriously appointed...
So... if this is actually the type vessel is what you are curious about... here's a good "ballpark" answer.
Today, the going rate for a typical "yacht" is about $40,000 a lineal foot. So the initial purchase price of a typical 50' "yacht" would set the new owner back about $2,000,000.
But, that's not near all it cost... The purchase price of a "small yacht" is only about half the cost of maintaining it over the first seven years or so... after that, the cost of maintaining it will go up rather dramatically.
In addition to the above, there is transportation to and from, plus dock fees, fuel, crew, food, beverage, and entertainment expenses... So, honestly... to the man, woman, corporation, that purchases a true "yacht"... the initial price is really peanuts; and I do mean it is an incidental - almost nothing price to pay - for the onset of expenses to own, operate, maintain, and entertain...
Now, if you are asking about the price of a small to medium size "boat"... that's a whole different story...
But, "small to medium" means different things to different people, and "boat" well, that can be anything that floats...
So, to get a good answer for that... you will need to add a lot more specifics, ie: power, sail, row, paddle, electric, etc. - Where are you going to use it? Fresh water? Salt water? or Bath water? Get my drift? (pun intended).

Why is a 20 amp switch hot to the touch?
Most electrical switches even if designed and built correctly have a small amount of resistance to current flow.The upshot of this is that power is lost in the switch when current flows, ( from Ohm's Law: W=I x I x R, where W = watts, I = Amps , R = Ohms) In conclusion, where current flows through a resistance ( in this case the switch ) power is lost in the form of heat. Generally a 20A switch would be 'warm' to the touch, if it is 'hot' then this may indicate that the switch has a fault, for example a loose joint/connection or deteriorated contacts.

This fine vessel is owned by Mr. Don Wheaton. Cmdr. A. Reye Ret. USN 8/1/2011
AnswerThe actually belongs to the Ross family who live in Nanaimo BC, i know this because i went to school with the son and have been on it. AnswerDon Wheaton of Edmonton Alberta own the After Eight. After having eight children the owner bought the first 118 foot After Eight. This boat was sold sometime this year by Seymour Yatcht sales in Vancouver.The Wheaton's took delivery of the brand new 151 foot After Eigth just last week. The first trip was to Saltspring Island. They also made it to Atlanta in it.
AnswerI have heard the yacht After Eight is owned by Jimmy Pattison as a sometime charter boat.There is definitely a new After Eight, possibly the third. The original had a dark green hull possibly refitted with a white hull. About 118'.
This new one is about 150' and was in Ganges on the weekend. Very striking profile with two upper decks. Was docked on the side Ganges government seaplane dock. Came in on late Saturday and left Monday morning.
Today was told Oprah was on just on Salt Spring on Jimmy Pattison's yacht but the Nova Spirit (his yacht) was not here recently.
Nova Spirit is a frequent Ganges guest and I know here well.
Other press reports say Oprah is now on a Jimmy Pattison yacht up the North coast.

INFORMATION
This Yacht was seen in the dry docks of Victoria BC getting a buff on its underbelly in Mid February. Suggesting that it has a local dock in Victoria.
It is definitely the Wheatons boat and no Jim Pattison is not a partner (the Wheatons are my godparents). It is owned by the father (Don Sr.) who is retired and hence why it is always out.
Norman Braman, automobile tycoon. Confirmed by sighting and research.
According to a newspaper article of Aug 5, 2007 the yacht is owned by Jim Pattison.

What is the appropriate weight anchor for a 22 foot boat?
The weight of an anchor is not as important as the type and design of the anchor used. Finding the appropriate anchor will also depend on the type of boat and the composition of the bottom of the body of water it is to be used in. In addition, lighter anchors are (obviously) easier for the boater to handle. Check with local boat shops or experienced boaters to find the right anchor.
