Pivotable bulb mounted foil for sailboats

   
   

A pivotable deployable bulb mounted foil apparatus for a sailboat can pivot a foil mounted within a keel bulb remotely as needed to provide lateral resistance for the sailboat. The foil or foils can be rotated between a nested position for greater speed when the foils are not needed for lateral resistance in the water to an extended or operative position when needed for lateral resistance. The pivotal bulb mounted foil is especially adapted for use with a canting keel where the sailboat loses its lateral resistance from the keel when the keel is canted.
