A vessel of 320 gross tons would be classified as a Yacht/Ship under the act?

Vessel classification under the act is based on gross tonnage thresholds, not propulsion, with yachts limited to smaller sizes and ships covering the larger end. A vessel with 320 gross tons is well beyond the typical yacht size, so it cannot be categorized as a yacht. It would instead fall into the ship category, which is why the statement to classify it as a yacht under the act is not correct. The other options don’t fit because propulsion isn’t what divides yachts from ships, and 320 gross tons exceeds any yacht threshold the act uses.
