Motor Yachts

One hull under power, which covers most of what is built: everything from a boat that planes across a bay to a displacement hull that crosses an ocean at eight knots. What separates them is the shape below the waterline and what it is asked to do, and the specifications on each page say which — length, beam, draft, and what the builder published about range and speed.

Liveaboard

Boats with enough room, water and plumbing to be lived on rather than visited. The criteria are a length overall between 11 and 24 metres, three cabins or more, two heads or more where the builder publishes a number, and 300 litres of fresh water or more where that is published; day boats, sport cruisers, centre consoles and racers are excluded. A figure the builder never published does not disqualify a boat on the secondary conditions -- unknown is read as not contradicting -- but cabins and length must be there.
