What is the
Gulet ?
As a
traditional Turkish
wooden
sailing yacht, the Gulet is built for
cruising. This modern
version, is an improvement of the ancient cargo bearing craft.
This craft was used for trade along the coast of Turkey. From
this original design, a more comfortable cruising vessel had evolved. Some also have air conditioned and accommodation for up
to 12-18 guests in self contained double
cabins.
In other
words, the Gulet
is a full service hotel where every room has a sea and panoramic
view.
The classic Gulet, was once
used by fisherman and sponge divers to transport their
catch. The meaning of the Gulet name is derives from the
French goelette that mean schooner. The classic Gulet is best known for its
low-to-the-water profile and roomy hull, rounded aft.
In the original Gulet the
rounded aft, of the design, limits the number of cabins which
can be built. That is one reason why the Ayna Kıig (flat-backed) style of Gulet is becoming increasingly popular as
a charter vessel. The Gulets
yachts are usually been made from pine, Teak - Iroko (West
African Teak) and African mahogany.
The Gulet
family type including also, the
ketch,
Tırhandil,
and schooner, with rigged steel
and 2
masts. These wooden yacht are build with widely
varying of sails system, and characterized by a wide, rounded
stern with a large aft deck space.
Tırhandil,
a double-ended traditional Gulet. Trhandil is the
oldest style of vessel on the Aegean Sea. This type of Gulet is
rare these days. The reason is relatively small accommodation
capacity. This design allows for only a small number of cabins.
The Trhandils sail is an attractive vessel with plenty of deck
space.
Today, Gulets are used
primarily with charters and various designs have emerged. All of
this designs come under the collective description of wooden
Gulet.
The Gulet boats are quite popular as a carousing and charters
vassals, in other parts of the world except of Turkey, such as,
USA, England, France, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Maldives, Adriatic,
Malta, Croatia, Russia, red sea, Spain, Caribbean. and others.
The Gulets are been used not
only for a private cruising, but also for tourism purpose, in
Charters brokers companies, and travel & tourism operators
agencies
as
well.
