[edit] Missing yachts
- The Royal Danish Yacht "Dannebrog" measuring 78,4 meters should hold the 39 th place in the list Gibler (talk) 19:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- The Siren, measuring 73 meters, should be on here as well : http://yachts.monacoeye.com/files/category-nobiskrug.php
== Deletion == I will be proposing this page for deletion as yacht names change very often, at the beck and call of ownership changes and refits and wives and children and mistresses and sports teams. There is no way this article can have any lifespan.--Tallard 12:45, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Upon further inspection, I realise that this is only for yachts over 70 m and hence these yachts' names have more longevity. However the 70 m detail should be in the first paragraph or the title as it's quite an arbitrary number.--Tallard 21:16, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Queen M is now called Queen K and it is owned by Oleg Deripaska. (83.143.248.21 (talk) 13:34, 21 December 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Tonnage
The second sentence describes tonnage as "a measure of volume" and displacement as "a measure of weight". Shouldn't this be the other way around?
Yes, gross tonnage is a measure of capacity - it is used in commercial shipping to measure the volume that can be accommodated by cargo as opposed to how much weight the vessel can carry. It is a common misconception hence i thought it pertinent to this particular wiki-entry. In the yachting industry it is a much more important measure of the size of yachts and the work required in a build or refit.
