keelses
A keels is a long, slender boat traditionally used by the people of the Maldives. It is a distinctive type of dhow, a sailing vessel found in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. Keels are characterized by their narrow hull, often with a single mast and a lateen sail, although modern versions may use engines. Historically, these boats were crucial for fishing, transportation of goods, and inter-island travel within the Maldivian archipelago.
The construction of a keels traditionally involved skilled carpentry, with planks joined together using coir rope
