Traditional Greek Motor Sailers and Turkish Gulets
|
The beautiful shape of these boats is the result of the experience of many generations of Greek shipwrights. Before the time of modern ferries they were designed to carry goods and passengers between the numerous Greek islands and the mainland.
They are of very solid construction, quite heavy and with round bows, because the Aegean Sea can get very rough and strong boats are needed. Originally, they were built to carry sails - mostly gaff or Lateen rigs. They had to carry stone ballast when sailing without load. Nowadays most of them have strong engines and the sails are smaller now, so not so much ballast is needed and there is more room for cargo.
The design of these boats makes them very seaworthy, however, they need quite a bit of loving (and knowledgeable) care.
