Question:
I am thinking to have a wooden Gulet second hand or new built, but can
not decide classic construction or modern lamination. I understand that
lamination gulets are more costy. What do you think?
Answer:
Classic Construction (Carvel Planking) means red pine wood, galvanized
nail and cotton caulking. So, you are right it is significantly cheaper
than laminated Gulet. Modern laminated gulet with mahogany wood,
plastic or stainless nail, staples and epoxy resin, has serious
advantages, i.e. longer operation life of the boat, longer haul-out
period, much less maintenance cost, more stronger structure, dry bilges
if it was constructed very well. But, if there will be even small
damage on the underwater hull body because of crash to the rocks and
other vessels, repair cost will be extremely higher than classic
construction gulet, also, if you travel all around the world with your
gulet, it will be difficult in some countries to find skilled carpenter
and epoxy material for repair of laminated construction. Question: Is it possible to built steel Gulet in Bodrum? Answer:
Certainly. Specially, transom sterned gulet has been successfully
constructed. Steel construction of round stern gulet is not chosen
because of difficulty on giving the characteristic stern shape to the
steel. On the other hand, all kind of yacht over 35 meters in
length will not be constructed in wood, so for the gulet, steel
construction over 35 meters is our recommendation. Question: Do you think I can find a good electrician for my boat? Answer:
