A vessel used for racing or pleasure trips (5)

I believe the answer is:

yacht

(Other definitions for yacht that I've seen before include "Luxury purchase" , "Light sailing-vessel for sport" , "Sailing craft" , "Sailing-boat" , "Sailing or motor vessel for cruising or racing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
