Turkish Gulet
A Gulet is a traditional Turkish broad-beamed wooden coastal sailing vessel with a raised bow, a broad flat stern, a main foremast and secondary mast aft.
These days Turkey's wooden Gulets are mostly configured as motor-sailers, with powerful diesel engines to provide primary power, and sails to provide additional power, or primary power in strong winds.
This means you can sail silently when the wind allows, but go wherever you want reliably with motor power. Gulets are particularly good as pleasure sailing vessels because of their broad beam, which allows for lots of deck space and spacious cabins.
The stern deck of a gulet is broad and fitted with a low, wide cushioned bench all around which is perfect for lounging, reading, relaxing or napping.
The stern deck area, shaded by an awning is large enough for a table for games, drinks or meals. For sun bathing, the foredeck is the place! |
