Question

What is keelboat sailing?

Answer 1

All sailboats have a dagger board, a centerboard that can be raised and lowered or a keel. They need this to make a resistance in the water so that the wind does not blow the boat sideways, but forward. With a fixed keel, you doo need to think about depth of water that you are sailing in and difficulty in launching the boat. Most keel boats are kept in the water for the season,

Answer 2

A sailboat with fixed keel. The keel are usually made of lead or steel to ballast the boat.

Like my sailboat.

Answer 3

sailing in a boat with a fixed keel, as opposed to a daggerboard or centerboard etc.  keel boats are almost always bigger than board boats, you will rarely find one less than 20 ft. long and they usually don't heel (tip) anywhere near as much if they do at all

Answer 4

A keelboat has a fixed keel rather than a centerboard or daggerboard
