Information based on version 1.5.46.0

History
The sport of yachting, that is sailing a vessel purely for pleasure or racing, was invented by the Dutch. This vessel was modelled by Marion van Ghent upon Dutch jachts of the 1720 period.
Strategy and Use
The Zuiderzee yacht is employed by players for racing and smuggling. As a non-combat ship it is unable to initiate combat but may be be engaged by other players in PvP combat. However, no rewards other than unsecured cargo are awarded to players who capture this vessel.
Tactics
All "Tiny" class ships have a base Open Sea (OS) speed of 70 knots making them the fastest vessels in the game. The yacht, unlike longboats, has a cargo capacity of 20 tons meaning that it can haul high value cargoes such as ship deeds. However, having a relatively slow battle speed when caught it is defenseless.
Comparable Ships
Currituck periauger, Trusty longboat and Medway longboat.
Distinguishing Characteristics
Small hull, fore-and-aft rig, shallow draft for coastal and inland waters, side-boards rather than a deep keel.
