Yachting...
The modern Yacht captures the charm and the challenges of the sail ship on a much smaller scale. But to captain or work a Yacht is a very demanding event, especially in a racing event or a single handed around the world trip.
Yachts are for pleasure and sport, but in earlier days some were used in world exploration trips. Racing yachts of various types have helped in the development of improved hull design in bigger ships and military patrol vessels. Speed and stability are the two keys to ship design improvements.
As a carrier they have only really become associated with the smuggling and illegal importation of narcotics.
