A Sailing Yacht (SY or S/Y) is a ship prefix used to identify a vessel that is privately owned and uses sails as its primary means of propulsion.
The category of classes sailing yacht is among those officially recognized by the International Sailing Federation. This category includes within it the sailing boats that exceed 30 feet (over 9 meters), so in all respects similar to a yacht.
Sailing yachts can range in overall length (Length Over All—LOA) from about 6 metres (20 ft) to well over 30 metres (98 ft), where the distinction between a yacht and a ship becomes blurred. Most privately owned yachts fall in the range of about 7–14 metres (23–46 ft); the cost of building and keeping a yacht rises quickly as length increases. In the United States, sailors tend to refer to smaller yachts as sailboats, while referring to the general sport of sailing as yachting. Within the limited context of sailboat racing, a yacht is any sailing vessel taking part in a race, regardless of size.
A yacht /ˈjɒt/ is a recreational boat or ship. The term originates from the Dutch word jacht "hunt", and was originally defined as a light fast sailing vessel used by the Dutch navy to pursue pirates and other transgressors around and into the shallow waters of the Low Countries. After its selection by Charles II of England as the vessel to carry him to England from the Netherlands for his restoration in 1660, it came to be used to mean a vessel used to convey important persons.
Modern use of the term designates two different classes of watercraft, sailing and power boats. Yachts differ from working ships mainly by their leisure purpose, and it was not until the rise of the steamboat and other types of powerboat that sailing vessels in general came to be perceived as luxury, or recreational vessels. Later the term came to encompass motor boats for primarily private pleasure purposes as well.
Yacht lengths generally range from 10 metres (33 ft) up to dozens of meters (hundreds of feet). A luxury craft smaller than 12 metres (39 ft) is more commonly called a cabin cruiser or simply a cruiser. A superyacht generally refers to any yacht (sail or power) above 24 m (79 ft) and a megayacht generally refers to any yacht over 50 metres (164 ft). This size is small in relation to typical cruise liners and oil tankers.
Musikero
BY SALING KET with REY VALERA
Verse1
T'wing naririnig and kanta ng gitara
Naaalala ko ang landas ng aking ama
Buhay musikero minana sa kanya
Verse2
Sinubok ko na rin na sundin ang sarili
Baka ang musika ay hindi para sa'kin
Ngunit pag may awit, tinatawag ako
Chorus
Naririto ako pinili'y landas ng musika
Naririto ako tinagay sa landas ng musika
At ang bilin nya mangarap ako
At tangapin buhay na ganito
Isang musikerong await sa inyo
Ang buhay ko
Naririto ako, at ngayon
Ay nasasakyan ko na, na ito
Ang buhay ko
Di ko napansin ang pagihip ng hangin
Tinatangay ako sa landas na ito
Ito ang aking awit, ito ang buhay ko
Chorus
Naririto ako pinili'y landas ng musika
Naririto ako tinagay sa landas ng musika
At ang bilin nya mangarap ako
At tangapin buhay na ganito
Isang musikerong aawit sa inyo
Naririto ako, at ngayon
Ay nasasakyan ko na, na ito
