Leaboards
twin bilge keels


Trying to confuse the poor guy?

Actually when my wife & I first started looking at big
cruising boats, one that got serious interest was a Bolger
ketch with leeboards. While I hesitated, somebody else
bought it.


So what is a keelson?

Interior structural member along the centerline, usually
laid down above the ribs & tied into the floors but
sometimes notched for the ribs & beveled for the garboard.

Here's the best pic I could find on short notice, scroll
about halfway down.

This is a gorgeous boat too.
