Some boats will have a fixed keel, and some will have retractable keels, mostly for trailering. When I was a teenager, we had a 24 foot Venture that had a swing keel. It is my guess that the Bayesian had a retractable keel so that it could enter shallower ports? Otherwise, I don't really understand why it would have had a retractable keel.
