Boat part (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

keel

'boat part' is the definition.
(I know that keel is part of hull)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for keel that I've seen before include "Fore-and-aft base to a ship's hull" , "Longitudinal structure supporting the frame of a vessel" , "Strut along base of ship" , "Support on which ship is built" , "Structure along base of ship" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Independent.
