CENTERBOARD: Used to keep the boat from moving sideways under certain wind conditions. It also increases the boat's stability and aids in steering it.
centerboard - A metal plate (or board), moving vertically (or pivoting up & down) in the centerline slot of the keel; the purpose is to add lateral resistance to a sailboat's hull to reduce sideways skidding or leeway.
Centerboard:
A board that can be raised and lowered by pivoting in a watertight box called the trunk or well to increase the draft and lateral area of the hull, preventing the boat from sliding sideways.
CENTERBOARD-A pivoted board-like device that can be lowered to provide lateral resistance to the water in shoal draft vessels.
CLEW-Aftermost corner of a sail.
COAMING-Raised protection around a cockpit.
Centerboard
A device similar to a keel, except that it is usually either removable or can pivot. Also see daggerboard. The centerboard is used like a keel to reduce the unwanted sideways motion of a boat.

The centerboard should be hoisted up into the trunk when running before the wind, and the boom should be kept well topped up. In some small catboats there is no topping lift and the sail has only one halyard, which hoists both the throat and peak.
The centerboard case must be high enough to be clear above the water even when the boat is awash and must have adequate buoyancy.
A fin"the centerboard, keel, rudder, or skeg"under the boat that helps with steering and provides lateral resistance (and provides ballast, in the case of the keel).
Rudders and centerboards always have swiveling tips so the dinghy can be landed. Rudders often are arranged so the tiller folds against the rudder to make a compact package.
Similar to a centerboard, except that it is raised vertically. Like a keel, daggerboards are used to prevent a sailboat being pushed sideways by the wind.

CENTERBOARD A pivoting "keel" that retracts into a case inside a sailboat. Used to prevent leeway. CENTERBOARD LIFT A line or cable for raising and lowering the centerboard on a sailboat.
CENTERBOARD - A board that is lowered through a slot in the keep to reduce leeway.
CHINE - Intersection of sides and bottom of a boat.
CHOCK - A deck fitting to guide a line where it leaves the boat.
centerboard: retractable keel to stop a boat's leeward drift a board lowered through a slop in the centerline of the hull to reduce sideway skidding or leeway.
Daggerboard: A centerboard that is retracted vertically rather than hinged.
Bilgeboards Similar to centerboards, and used to prevent lee way. Bilgeboards are located on either side of the centerline at the bilges.
Binnacle A support for the compass, raising it to a convenient position.
as in irons ceilings Light planking or plywood sheeting on the inside of the frames center of effort (CE) A theoretical point on a boat's sail plan that represents the focus or center of the total forces of wind on the sails centerboard 1.
Unlike other cats that rely on stubby, fixed keels for directional stability, the Gemini 105 M uses more efficient centerboards and the trunks are an integral part of the mold.
Daggerboard - A type of centerboard that is removed vertically.
Davy Jones' Locker - An idiom for the bottom of the sea
Daybeacon - An unlighted fixed structure which is equipped with a dayboard for daytime identification.
Daggerboard - A blade shaped centerboard that is lifted out of a case when raised. Usually only suitable for small boats.
Daybeacon -A fixed navigation aid structure used in shallow waters upon which is placed one or more daymarks.
Centerboard - A movable or sliding keel formed of a broad board or slab of wood or metal which may be raised into a water-tight case amidships, when in shallow water, ...
Centerboard: A board normally attached to dinghies to reduce the sideways drift. Lifts around a pin, unlike a daggerboard, which is released vertically.
Centerline: Center of the fore-and-aft line ...
Extended down from the hull is a keel, a centerboard or a daggerboard, which is used to keep the boat from moving sideways under certain wind conditions. It also increases the boat's stability and aids in steering it.

Keels are different from centerboards and other types of foils in that keels are made of heavy materials to provide ballast to stabilize the boat. Keels may be fixed, or non-movable, or they may retract to allow sailing in shallower waters.
Monohull yachts are typically fitted with a fixed keel or a centerboard (adjustable keel) below the waterline to counterbalance the overturning force of wind on the vessel's sails.
CENTERBOARD: An adjustable keel that drops through a slot in the bottom of a boat to provide ballast and sailing stability.
COCKPIT: An open area, usually near the stern from which the vessel can be steered.
Trim: To adjust the sails to make the most of the wind.
