Yachts, large and small, are used as homes in every corner of the globe. Most are built with the primary purpose of sailing, and this can sometimes be at odds with the ideal conditions for living. A large yacht may have fairly small living accommodation – sail storage areas combined with long, narrow bows often reduce the usable living space.Motorsailers fall somewhere between a motor yacht and a yacht. Designs vary but in most cases the sails are there to supplement the engine and reduce rolling at sea. The hull shape of a motorsailer usually gives greater interior volume compared to a yacht of the same length.
