Note sgoth just means a yacht. I am moving this to Sgoth Niseach.--MacRusgail (talk) 10:57, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
- With all due respect – what sgoth means in Gaelic is not relevant for the purpose of titling the article. This is the English Wikipedia. It is common for foreign-language terms to have a narrower (or sometimes wider) meaning in English than in the original language. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 23:41, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
The moment anyone uses the word "just" is the moment I make sure I query what follows (as with the use of the word "obvious"). While it is clear - if no more than on a Humpty Dumpty basis - that "yacht" is amongst the meanings, it is very clear from even the most elementary/superficial of investigations that this is inadequate as a full explanation. And in any case what does MacRusgail mean by "yacht"? MacRusgail is a brave person to gainsay Dwelly. I know which authority I would prefer. Freuchie (talk) 16:08, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
lateen--lug?
The mention of this vessels sail being a type of lateen sail is incorrect. the yard on a lateen sail is almost always the full length of the leading edge of the sail. some local variants had extra sailcloth added to the foot of the sail, giving a superficial resemblance to the dipping lug sail, but the lateen sail never had the long luff of the dipping lug. The two types of sail had separate developmental histories in different geographical locations. 71.241.214.154 (talk) 12:49, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
