If boats with a narrow deck were built in South Holland and Zeeland,
narrow bottoms were preferred, on the contrary, in North Holland. This
boat was then called “Yacht” a _Noord Hollandsche Yacht_.
It is generally about the size of a small hoy. In order to classify the
preceding vessels in accordance with their bottom width, it would be
necessary to begin with the “Yacht”, then to take the hoy and, finally,
the “Poon”.
Its more narrow bottom and its more converging sides make the Yacht
look more slender and more swift than the “Poon”.
The bends of the Yacht show a great deal of sheer with a straight
element at the middle. The Yacht has a “draai-over-boord” with a
slightly raised deck at the stern.
