The keel is the bottom-most longitudinal structural element of a watercraft. On some sailboats, it may have a hydrodynamic and counterbalancing purpose as well. The laying of the keel is often the initial step in constructing a ship. In the British and American shipbuilding traditions, this event marks the beginning date of a ship's construction.

Keel is an American hard rock/heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1984. [1] They are best known for their rock anthem "The Right to Rock". The band was active until 1989, with a brief reunion in 1998. Keel reunited again in 2008 and toured in 2009 for their 25th anniversary. [2]

Keel laying is one of the four specially celebrated events in a ship's life; the others are launching, commissioning, and decommissioning. Earlier, the event recognized as the keel laying was the initial placement of the central timber making up the backbone of a vessel, called the keel.

A keel is the central beam of the hull of a boat. Keel may also refer to:

In non-sailing boats, the keel helps the hull to move forward, rather than slipping to the side. In traditional boat building, this is provided by the keel, which comes out from the bottom of the hull.

'n Keël is 'n driedimensionele geometriese vorm wat deur twee parameters beskryf word. Dit kan vergelyk word met die vorm van 'n (afgeslote) heksehoed. Indien die straal van die sirkelvormige basis van die keël is, die hoogte is en die lengte van die skuinste van die punt van die keël tot die sirkelvormige rand, dan is: Keël.
