minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish12•2 months agoAre there keels that are not fixed to the hull?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish10•edit-22 months 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-square@mark3748linkEnglish6•2 months agoYes, a daggerboard. It’s like a centerboard keel, but slides through a slot instead of swinging up into the hull.
