Traditional wooden yachts:
The traditional wooden yachts are built mainly in Bodrum
and other parts of Southwest Turkey. In Northern Black Sea
Region the boat yards usually built fishing boats, but some
beautiful traditional yachts are being constructed recently.
These boats built handmade by local carpenters. They use
generally pine or oak wood for the skeleton of the boats, the
skeleton cover is made of pine or tetra, the deck teak, the
cabins pine or mahagony, the masts white oak wood or iron. The
boats are both motor and sailing yachts. Yacht charters take
place on comfortable, locally built wooden yachts of several
designs and sizes:
|
 |
| GULET |
Gullet: The most popular type of traditional yacht
for the 'Blue Cruise' is the gullet. It is a cruising yacht
with large, rounded stern area which is well-suited for
comfartable eating and lounging. Gullets usually have ketch
(marconi) or schooner-rigging, with one, two or three
foresails. Their lenghts change between 15 to 33 meters and
they accommodate 6 to 16 persons in 3 to 8 double bedded
cabins with private shower and WC.
|
 |
| AYNAKIC |
Aynakic: It has a raised, squared-off stern that
allows space for additional cabins below compared to a gullet.
There may be a large master cabin at the stern. They
accommodate 8 to 24 persons in 4 to 12 double bedded cabins
with private shower and WC. They are generally ketch
(marconi)-rigging and measure 18 to 33 meters.
|
 |
| TIRHANDIL |
Tirhandil: It is the oldest type of local wooden
boat with a pointed stern which is suited best for sailing in
Aegean waters. Originally most had lateen sails; now the
rigging varies from sloop to cutter to gaff. They normally
measure between 11 to 18 meters in lenght and accommodate 6 to
8 persons in 3 to 4 double bedded cabins with private shower
and WC.

chartered either with crew or without crew.
|

want to find their own route on the sea. They are usually
chartered without crew while provided with all the local
navigational information and equipment. For the ones who do
