English term or phrase: sailing boat

Hello, could anyone please help me to translate this term in Japanese...
what I mean is modern sailing boat, not ancient style (like caravels for example)
I only need it written the occidental way (how the word sounds, not how it is written in Japanese characters).

Thank you so much

yotto

Explanation:
In Japan, yotto (comes from English yocht) usually mean sailing boat or sailboat.
'Yotto' sound very similar with English 'yocht', but first sound is 'yo'.
Hobune and hokakebune sound like a little ancient. Since sailing boat you meant was modern one, yotto might fit better.
