Nope, but it does come up if you get tested for breast cancer.

Point is, that yacht isn't a difficult word at all. Especially not if you're European, since the word for yacht in many European languages is... yacht.

I think it's a Germanic vs. Latin-based thing, since "yacht" is Germanic in origin.
