A lawsuit filed by a repairman who was injured while working on a client's yacht has turned on whether the vessel constituted a dwelling or merely a boat. In a case of apparent first impression, New York state Supreme Court Justice Ralph A. Boniello III has ruled that the 40-foot boat in fact served as a second home for its owner and therefore protected him from liability under state labor law, which exempts owners of one- and two-family dwellings who do not direct or control the workers they hire.
