	Keelboat
		Keelboats were usually from 40 to 80 feet long, with a 15 to 20 foot beam.
		Keelboats were propelled upstream primarily by human muscle.
		Many a keelboat was swamped or capsized as a result of the mast catching in a low lying tree branch, or a sudden shift in wind directions.

	The Pirogues
		The keelboat had walkways along the sides for men to propel the boat with poles.
		The keelboat, carrying 10-12 tons of supplies, essentially was the expedition's pack mule; the pirogues, carrying 10 or 12 men each, acted as troop carriers.
		Rebuilding a second keelboat will keep six to eight volunteers busy for some 10,000 hours over the course of a year or more at a cost of $100,000.

	Encyclopedia: Yngling (keelboat)
		A Yngling (pronounced "ING-ling") is a type of sailboat that the International Yngling Association calls an "agreeable cross between a planing dinghy and a keelboat." It is also summarized as a smaller version of a Soling.
		Linge wanted to build a keelboat for his young son, and thus named it Yngling, the Norwegian word for "youngster"; the name is unrelated to the House of Yngling or the Ynglinga saga.
		It got the ISAF International Class status in 1979, and was chosen as the Olympic Women's Keelboat for 2004 and 2008.

		The history center had planned to exhibit the 7-ton, 55-foot-long keelboat inside this summer, but Halaas said he discovered too late that the center had miscalculated the length of the boat trailer and it was displayed outside instead.

	Keelboat? Dinghy? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
		In a nutshell, the Yngling is a sleek and seaworthy small racing keelboat (6.35 m (21') LOA, 645 kg.
		Optimal crew weight is 400 to 500 lbs., so the Yngling accommodates both juniors and normally sized adults, and it is the ideal women's racing boat (in fact, IYRU selected the Yngling for its first International Women's Championship in 1994, and ISAF chose it as the boat for the 2004 Olympic women's keelboat event).
		Compared with similar keelboats such as the Soling, Etchells, Shields, Sonar, J-22, and J-24, the Yngling is the least expensive and easiest to maintain (a used Yngling can be bought for about the price of a suit of sails for an Etchells!).
