Gulet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Gulet is a traditional design of a two-masted wooden sailing vessel from the south-west coast of Turkey, although frequently found all around the eastern Mediterranean. Today this type of vessel, varying in size from 14 to 35 metres, is now very popular for tourist charters although, for considerations of crew economy, diesel power is now almost universally used and many are not properly rigged for sailing.

Gulets are charming, traditional motor-yachts, beautifully carfted from wood - usually pine. They vary in size from 60-90 feet in length, having 6-8 twin or double cabins with wash basin, toilet and shower cubicle. They are crewed by a staff of three and consist of captain, first mate and assistant to take care of sailing, route planning, cooking and cleaning.
