The _Keen_ may be considered as the fundamental type of this second
group. It was rigged formerly like the “Dorstensche Aak” but it now
carries, like all the boats, a fore and aft sail. The bottom rises both
forward and aft to the level of the nose. Hence the “Keen” is an “ake”.
The planking is assembled on the bottom very nearly along a right line.
The stern carries, as a rule, a poop deck.
