An English-made Hurley Twin-Keeled sailboat at low tide
Twin keels or bilge keels are two keels that emerge at an angle from the hull of a sailboat, at or near the bilges. The angle allows the boat to have a shallower draft while still allowing for minimum leeway while sailing. The placement of the twin keels also allows the boat to stand upright when out of the water without additional support, as opposed to a single-keeled boat that would fall over if water levels dropped. Twin-keeled boats are typically used in coastal areas that experience extreme changes in tide. When the tide is low the boat will sit on her keels and remain stable and upright. This configuration is especially useful for sailors in Britain and many parts of the Eastern United States.

bilge is the compartment at the bottom of the hull of a ship or boat where water collects so that it may be pumped out of the vessel at a later time.
Bilge water can be found aboard every vessel, but its composition is always unique.

The draft (or draught) of a ship's hull is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull (keel), with the thickness of the hull included; in the case of not being included the draft outline would be obtained.

Leeway is the lateral movement of a ship to the leeward of her course; drift. Just as a vessel's course is affected by the current of the water (set and drift), her course is also altered by wind.

Tides are the cyclic rising and falling of Earth's ocean surface caused by the tidal forces of the Moon and the Sun acting on the oceans. More generally, tidal phenomena can occur in any object that is subjected to a gravitational field that varies in time and space, such as the
