In my German-Dutch dictonary there are only 7 words that starts with a Y. A word with a
Y is Yacht (in english: sailing-boat or yacht).
Maybe is this the solution? See :
http://www.houston-press.com/1998/121098/feature2-1.html
First sentence :
"In 1899, Charles Dellschau, a grouchy retired
butcher, began to paint amazing AIRSHIPS."
Dellschau painted airships, maybe : ship = yacht ?????.
