A discussion is given of the physical mechanisms governing the hydrodynamics of sailing yacht keels and the parameters that, through these mechanisms, determine keel performance. It is concluded that due to the presence of the free water surface optimum keel shapes differ from optimum shapes for aircraft wings.
