ABSTRACT:
A boat with a raisable and lowerable keel is proposed, which can be constructed as a swivel, lifting or ballast drop keel. The keels are fixed to tensioning members either directly or via cables. The tensioning members can be spiral springs, which run in the lifting keel box and are guided in the interior of the lifting keel to the lower end thereof. If the lifting keel is lowered, the spiral springs are tensioned, so that only relatively limited forces are required for raising by means of a spindle (FIG 1).
