Gulet Painting: A Lasting Finish on a Large Wooden Hull

Topside painting, varnish and antifouling on gulets; the right system and care on a large wooden surface.

A gulet's large wooden hull needs regular paint and varnish care for both looks and protection. The right system and workmanship protect both the appearance and the wood for years.

Paint or varnish?

On gulets, part of the hull is painted and exposed wood details are varnished. Varnish shows the natural grain but needs more care; paint is more protective. The decision follows the wood's condition (see wooden boat painting).

Surface prep

On a large surface, surface prep is decisive; correctly stripping old layers and a sound base are essential. Below the waterline, antifouling is renewed.

Season plan

On commercial gulets, paint-varnish care should be planned pre-season. We run multi-item work from one hand.
