    Referred to as "bilge keel" or sometimes in UK "rolling chock". Slows down the rolling at sea. This boat will probably get a new bow with bulbous extension, sponsoned for greater width in the stern, and maybe lengthened. Fairly common job around here.

    Correct me if I'm mistaken,
    but I believe a dagger-board refers to a board that is slotted in (and possibly out) of a dagger-trunk/slot of some kind? kinda makes sense.
    as aposed to say a kick-up keel or centerboard.

    A dagger-keel?
    is there such a beast?
    thanks

    Dagger board (vertically sliding) is a form of keel in its sailing function, language is flexible and needs to adapt, and I don't have a problem with dagger keel, it's actually a better description than dagger board maybe.

    Thanks BATAAN,
    I just knew, you knew... :D

    there's a lot to be said for the terminology when
    one is trying to describe something.

    Kach22i,
    and now we know you've muddled in them :)

    Obsession is a lovely thing when it's for boats.

    New Guinea crab claw it said at the forum.
    What a fabulously beautiful scene....
    Looks like usual ama-always-to-windward set up and boat has two bows. To tack you flip the sail and go backwards, which is now frontwards.
    Bet it's fun to sail, and maybe comparable to Puluwat types.
    Thoughts?
