There are many advantages to a centreboard, besides shallow draft.

Why do I consider shallow draft to be so important?

A sloop has a shallow draft, allowing it to sail over shoals with no risk.

Due to the shallow waterway however ships using the Wadden Sea require a low draft.

Some chain boats had a shallow draft of just 40–50 centimetres (16–20 in) designed for use in very low water levels and thus adapted to the circumstances of many rivers of the time.

These were box-shaped ships with mast, shallow draft and ramped ends on both sides of the fuselage, which had a payload up to 30t.

So called ramp sections are therefore used in these predominating instances which are unfoldable and collapsible like pontoons, but have a shallow draft.

A hydraulic power transmission 22 ensures an extremely low weight of this operative connection and, thus, a small overall length of the towboat. This in turn provides the greatest possible overall length of the barge as well as the smallest possible draft of the assembly as a whole with a relatively high cargo weight.

If the ships are also to navigate inland waters, they must have only a relatively shallow draft and must comply with the regulations for inland navigation, such as those which correspond approximately to the ADNR regulations for navigation on the Rhine River in Europe.

Watercraft for shallow waters have small draught and, therefore, are sensitive to weight and displacement changes, in particular if channels or tunnels are provided in the body of the ship for guiding the water of the drive mechanism.

Seagoing ships which have such a shallow draft that they can also navigate the larger inland waterways are known only for the transportation of mixed cargo.

Moreover, thanks to a shallow draft, the Depende IV can easily anchor in the most picturesque spanish bays, which are often inaccessible for larger, deeper draft yachts and, of course, a shallower draft means less fuel consumption.

Due to its low draft the "Ludwig Prandtl" is able to operate in shallow coastal waters.

The length of the arm of the crane and the shallow draft of the boat allow you to operate 20 meters dock structure, so the docking is not necessary inside.

Even though hydrojets with vertically directed axis of rotation require a relatively small draft for air-free operation for the propeller (or pump impeller) arranged horizontally above a bottom intake, they do have, among other things, the drawback that in case of shallow depth of water (i.e., at less than, e.g., 50 cm of water under the keel), such drives generate a strong wake due to the suction effect directed directly toward the bottom, which wake increases the resistance of the boat and compromises the development of thrust or lets it collapse altogether when increased amounts of foreign bodies sucked in clog the protective grid, which is usually present.

The steamer had little draught, thus the machines lay above water level on the freight deck.

Thanks to the low draft you have a large selection of travel sites in Germany in the regions of Brandenburg and the region Müritz, in Holland in the driving area of Friesland and in France in Burgundy.

Enjoy superb weather conditions on a spacious and comfortable multihull yacht with a shallow draft that enables anchoring close to plenty of nice beaches along 3,000 kilometers of the French Mediterranean coastline.

Perhaps because of the court with a small draft can pass over shoals, and only wheel with blades can provide it.

As a reward we are lured by the visual enjoyment of sharing both in the ingenuity and the simplicity of these paintings, even if, beyond what we thereby understand about the limitations of our individual scope for action, the insights we gain prove to have relatively little depth - indeed, just as in real life: what you see is what you get!

Due to its draught of less than 1.70 metres, it is particularly suitable for research in shallow and tidal waters.

With its shallow draft and incredible nautical toys, ayacht charter on Exuma with its professional crew is ideal for exploration and adventure!

The galiots had a large hold, simple handling of the sails and low draft.

Safe boats, produced by “CENTRUM”, feature a very shallow draught, which enables rallying at extremely low river levels.

A shallow draft will bring the "Coquin", together with her four companions, to where other boats couldn't easy go and can cross most low bridges.

It is equipped with a low-emission engine and a low draft to reduce wave formation.

Chain ships not only had a shallow draft; but their technical principle was also advantageous for low levels of water: in shallow waters, the chain rises at a shallow angle and a very high proportion of steam power could be converted into thrust.

From the beach of Marina di Campo we paddle towards the left side of the gulf and we follow the flow towards the islet of ‘Porto Caccamo’: sea kayak with its low bottom are the only boats to be able to go through these surfacing rocks.
