What term refers to a small boat designed for sailing?

Yacht
Canoe
Ship
Boat

The correct answer is: Yacht

The term that best refers to a small boat designed for sailing is "yacht." Yachts are specifically built for recreational sailing and can vary in size and design, typically featuring sails for wind propulsion. They are often associated with luxury and leisure activities, making them distinct from other types of vessels. Canoes are primarily paddled boats and not designed for sailing, although some can be rigged to carry sails. Ships generally describe larger vessels that may not be designed specifically for the purpose of recreation or sailing. The term "boat" is more general and can refer to a variety of watercraft, but it does not specifically imply sailing capability or the recreational aspect associated with yachts. Therefore, "yacht" is the most appropriate answer in this context.
