I would call this a scow, w/the twin keels and shallow draft, but what do I know? I haven't seen a scow in over 40 years.

Not a scow, but a canting keel which increases righting moment.

Generally they use hydraulics to swing the entire keel and bulb as much as 90 degrees.

There are twin, retracting dagger boards to prevent leeway.

Foiling cats, kite boarding, canting keels.......what will these crazy sailors think of next!
