Abstract
The present invention is directed to an apparatus that allows a boat to be anchored and keeled. The invention has a member that can rotate about a first axis from a stowed position to an anchored position. Or the members may be placed downwardly in the ground floor of the body of water, for keeling. The hull of the vessel has a channel for the rotation or movement of the member within the channel.
Claims5
An anchor and keel apparatus (10), for a vessel, comprising:
- a member pivoting means (50) having a base (200) secured to a vessel and having a collar (190) rotatably disposed on said base (200);
- a member (20) slidably disposed within said collar (190);
- and
- a member retention means (30) secured to the vessel in alignment with said member pivoting means (50) so that the member (20) may rotate clockwise and counterclockwise within a channel (160) about a first axis (150) oriented substantially vertical and said first axis (150) also oriented substantially vertical with respect to said member (20).
