Find me a yacht that costs less than a Harley... I'll wait
I said Yacht, not a sail boat.
Sailboats like this are routinely called "yacht". Yacht is a very non descriptive term for boats that just means a pleasure boat. A lot of very different boats fit that description.
Yacht is a boat, sail or power, that has a cabin for sleeping. Large size is not a prerequisite. Some boats as small as 17 ft meet this definition.

Define yacht then

Although this, too, doesn't rule out a yacht not necessarily being expensive, and don't really say what's large in actual size
