This week we're on the letter "K" in the #NauticalTerms. Here are a few examples.🟠 #Keel : The central structural beam or fin-like protrusion on the bottom of a sailing yacht's hull, providing stability and preventing lateral movement. Keels come in various shapes and configurations, such as fin keels, wing keels, and bulb keels.🟠 #Knot : A unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, commonly used in nautical navigation and measuring sailing yacht speed. Additionally, a "knot" can refer to a type of loop or fastening made by interweaving or looping rope.🟠 #Kedge : To kedge is to use an anchor to move a sailing yacht by pulling it toward the anchor using a line. This technique is used when a yacht is stuck or needs to be moved in a tight space.🟠 #Knockdown : A sudden and extreme heel or lean of a sailing yacht caused by strong wind or waves, often resulting in the mast touching the water. While knockdowns can be alarming, most modern yachts are designed to recover from them safely.🟠 #Ketch : A type of sailing yacht rig with two masts, typically consisting of a taller main mast and a shorter mizzen mast located forward of the rudder post. Ketch rigs are known for their versatility and balance under sail.These terms are commonly used in the context of sailing yachts and are essential for understanding and operating these vessels effectively.#MostSailing #sailing #sail #sailboat #saillife #sailinglife #sailinglove #travelling #nauticalterms
