this out-of-date list needs attention, as it is very hard to track the buildlist accurately, especially with the constant rollout of the Turkish pinewood gulets. Therefore I don't think that the section adds much encyclopedic knowledge for that matter. Any ideas? signed:Donan Raven (talk) 01:14, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have not been around much to edit the sail articles for a few years, but I think you have done a fine job maintaining this article. Its a gift to sailors everywhere! Thank you, as for that section, it could be split off into another article or moved to an examples. Cutter12 (talk) 13:58, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
thank you for starting the article in the first place! I propose the following leader rewording, tell me what you think - signed:Donan Raven (talk, contribs) 10:13, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This article lists active sailing yachts in excess of 110ft in sparred length. Yachts operate under different maritime classifications and rules than other vessels and are designed for private use, but are usually offered for charter with a limited number guests (typically 12 invitees maximum). This list features vessels with sails which were classed as yachts when they were launched as well as vessels which were subsequently converted to operate with sails and re-classed as yachts.
might it be an idea to attach a photo column, similar to the list of large motor yachts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 102Legobrick (talk • contribs) 22:06, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I suggested yesterday that the photograph column in the motoryachts list be removed; There are many blank cells in that article and there would be even more blank cells in this less prominent article. The small comparison table of this article has included photographs but they were removed because they did not serve for comparison well; Instead they are better featured at thumbnail size (180px by default) in the individual yachts' own articles.
However, yacht names in the first column of this article do feature links to Commons where files are available, see for example the IRC supermaxi Comanche (2014). This solution makes full use of the availability of the files without breaking the style or readability of the list - it is, after all, *just* a list. Tell me what you think. signed:Donan Raven (talk, contribs) 02:58, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
England/Scotland vs UK
I noticed that for several UK shipyards, the nation is listed as England or Scotland rather than United Kingdom. Is this a style choice, error or some sort of maritime convention?

Couldn't it be none of the above and still be correct? - wolf 14:03, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
