noun
- 1. the lengthwise timber or steel structure along the base of a ship, supporting the framework of the whole, in some vessels extended downwards as a ridge to increase stability.
- 2. a ridge along the breastbone of many birds to which the flight muscles are attached; the carina.
verb
- 1. (of a boat or ship) turn over on its side; capsize: "it's going to take more wind to make this boat keel over"

Aug 24, 2008 · lewisboats Obsessed Member. The keel is generally the solid centerline of the boat, to which the bottom/sides join, the foils are attached or are an integral part of and the framing is anchored on...but not on all forms or styles of boatbuilding. Witness a Collin Archer carvel design with a full "Real" Keel vs a Stitch and Glue Bilge "keeled ...
Jun 12, 2020 · As for flat bottoms, they are very stable, depending on location of center of gravity. Take a square block of wood, like a 2x4, compared to a round 4" dowel. That 2x4 will always settle on one 4" face or another. The dowel will roll all over the place. Once you put a weighted keel on one side, the story changes a bit.
Aug 9, 2008 · The hull design was originally developed for a 404km race that I did a couple of times. The design condition is 12kph at 150W. Once you encumber the boat with the weight and complexity of a flywheel system the speed will drop off considerably. So it is a long distance cruiser for relatively sheltered water.
Jan 24, 2011 · If I used Rhino for hull model, I would draw different sections, define keel and deckline and use "sweep2" command but I know that it's too much work. Another option might be drawing waterlines for specific heights and using "loft" command.
The reference area is whatever you want to define it as - it's typically the planform area for a keel. It doesn't matter if the area is divided up into two narrower surfaces or is one surface. Actually, the best parameter for comparing two keels would be the wetted aspect ratio, which is the depth^2/total wetted area.
This is referred to as the “wave-rise’ factor. The angle of the spray root line, α, relative to the keel measured in a plane normal to the hull centerline and along the keel can be established from a knowledge of the deadrise, trim and π/2 wave rise factor. Thus, it can be shown that: α= Tan. − 1 ⎛ π. ⎜⎜ ⎝.
Dec 21, 2013 · 4. - Define a layer combination for bulwark panels . 5.- If the chosen combination complies with regulatory , go to step 6 if studying the bulwark . step 7 if studying the side. step 8 , if studying the bottom. step 9 , if studying the keel. Otherwise return to Step 5 , with a new combination of layers.
Oct 12, 2004 · If you want a good lift/drag ratio then the keel is going to be thick in section. For a swept back leading edge with a mid span length of 25 feet (7.62 m) and a 8 % average foil gives a max thickness of two ft (610 mm) at the maximum width (this is for a 45 ft (13.7 m) LWL and a NACA 00 foil) .
May 28, 2012 · To start, i'll apply the Force equation derived above: A1* (v1^2)*d1 = A2* (v2^2)*d2, where v2 is the speed that the keel area is moving at it's center. Say there was no damping, and the wind caused A1 to move with velocity v1, rotating the plate by an angle of d@, for a total distance of r1*d@ radians.
Stability Guidance by the Water on Deck Criteria. The “water on deck” criteria is used to gauge a fishing vessel’s performance when encountering boarding seas that may become trapped by the vessel’s bulwarks. In this example, Area “A” (in yellow) represents the capsizing forces from the water trapped on deck.
