2. MacGregor 19 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGregor_19

   Early production boats had a fractional sloop rig, while later ones had a masthead sloop rig. The hull has a raked stem, a slightly angled transom, dual transom-hung rudders controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. It displaces 2,050 lb (930 kg) and carries 800 lb (363 kg) of flooding water ballast. The ballast is drained for road ...

   It has a fractional sloop rig with anodized aluminum spars, a nearly plumb stem, a vertical transom, a transom-hung, kick-up rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard. The hull alone displaces 475 lb (215 kg) and carries 49 lb (22 kg) of galvanized steel ballast. A fixed keel model was produced in small numbers and carries 195 ...

4. Transom (nautical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transom_(nautical)

   Vertical transom and stern of a modern cargo ship. In some boats and ships, a transom is the aft transverse surface of the hull that forms the stern of a vessel. Historically, they are a development from the canoe stern (or "double-ender") wherein which both bow and stern are pointed. Transoms add both strength and width to the stern.

5. Centreboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centreboard

   Other types feature a casing under the boat, which does not take up space but instead has the problem of increased drag. For this reason, it is not uncommon to find boats with a combination of shallow keel and centreboard (e.g. Randmeer). The keel provides the housing for the centreboard, moving it out of the hull, but adds only a small amount ...

6. Daggerboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daggerboard

   A daggerboard is a retractable centreboard used by various sailing craft. While other types of centreboard may pivot to retract, a daggerboard slides in a casing. The shape of the daggerboard converts the forward motion into a windward lift, countering the leeward push of the sail. The theoretical centre of lateral resistance is on the trailing ...

7. Junk (ship) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junk_(ship)

   The bottom is flat in a river junk with no keel (similar to a sampan), so that the boat relies on a daggerboard, [16] leeboard or very large rudder to prevent the boat from slipping sideways in the water. [17] The internal bulkheads are characteristic of junks, providing interior compartments and strengthening the ship.
