General

1. We note that Yacht Finders appears to have been incorporated on August 15, 2000, the same date of incorporation as Renoir Publishing, another company represented by your counsel Karen Batcher. Both Yacht Finders and Renoir Publishing are development stage entities with limited cash resources. Both have filed Securities Act registration statement that appear to contain substantially similar disclosures, such as the nature of the offerings being registered, the terms of the offerings, the proposed uses of offering proceeds, etc. Please tell us why Yacht Finders` registration statement appears to mirror that of Renoir Publishing. We may have further comments.

1. 2. We note that most of the selling security holders in this registration statement appear as selling security holders in the registration statement filed by Renoir Publishing. Please explain the appearance of these individuals in these registration statements. For example, please explain how and by whom these selling security holders were identified and brought together in these transactions and describe the connections, relationships and arrangements between them. We may have further comment after reviewing your response.

3. Please describe the nature and extent of Karen Batcher`s role in connection with Yacht Finders, from its inception in August 2000 to date, including her activities with regard to the pending registration statement. We may have further comment. 2. 3. Dilution, page 9

4. Please update the net tangible book value and other related disclosures consistent with the recent financial statements presented, in this case as of June 30, 2005.

Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons, page Certain Relationships and Related Transaction, page 30

5 Please disclose the persons who are the promoters of Yacht Finders. See the definition of promoter in Rule 405 of Regulation C. In this regard, we note that Yacht Finders was formed in August and Mr. Greenwood received his shares in April 2003.

6. Please provide the information required by Item 404(d) of Regulation S-B with respect to your promoters.

Competition and Competitive Position, page 24

7. We reiterate our previous comment #6 in our letter dated August 3, 2005. Please substantially revise this section to provide a detailed discussion of how the company will provide a competitive service, more than other companies. Your statement "[W]e plan to offer various price and service levels of our brokering service..." should be substantiated by providing some specificity.

Financial Statements

Statements of operations, page F-4 and statements of cash flows, page F-6

8. It appears to us that interim statements of operations and cash flows for 2005 and 2004 are inappropriately titled as " Three months ended June 30, 2005 or 2004"and should be revised to state as "Six months ended June 30, 2005 or 2004" as appropriate. Please revise or advise.

General

9. Please provide a current consent in any amendment and consider the updating requirements of Item 310(g) of Regulation S-B.
