Talk:Oyster Yachts

LOA/LWL
I just deleted a paragraph which claimed that the standard practice is to quote the length of a vessel as LWL and therefore the length of current models was overstated. The citation provided was relevant to ships. But for yachts the practice has always been to name a yacht using the approximate length in feed from stem to stern. I am not sure what the motivation was for the paragraph. It almost sounded like a customer who felt they were undersold by length!Billlion (talk) 13:37, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Your observation is definitelly true, that paragraph was missleading. Yacht model names are given in feet for the (approximate) overall length. Especially for older yacht designs, the waterline would be significantly shorter than the overall length. --PaterMcFly talk contribs 15:50, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

TL;DR: The article is written like an advertisement, especially the first paragraph. 82.130.72.251 (talk) 10:54, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
