Yacht is an installable performance-enhancing component for Extreme Gears. Its actual appearance is unknown, though it is presented as an icon on the head-up display in the top-left corner of the game screen. Its icon is a yellow-colored circle with a black Yacht type Extreme Gear inscribed in it.
Overview
In the game, Yacht is permanently installed into certain Extreme Gears. When used, Yacht physically transforms the Extreme Gear into a Yacht type Extreme Gear and gives it the same traits of a Yacht type. This allows the player to Air Ride by taking off from Catapults.
