minus-squarefriend_of_satan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·2 years agoAre there keels that are not fixed to the hull?
minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·2 years agoNot fixed while in operation, no (if it’s not rigidly mounted it can’t apply torque to the hull). Not fixed permanently, yes: they’re called “daggerboards.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daggerboard
minus-squaremark3748@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 years agoYes, a daggerboard. It’s like a centerboard keel, but slides through a slot instead of swinging up into the hull.
