I believe fixed bilge keels were one option for several boats in the TS range.
Someone posted a link to pics of an 18'er with side hinged keels on screw jacks.
Haven't come across pivoting bilge boards.
Been pondering Asrainox's idea of deleting the tongue, and concocting a
direct lift system on the trailing edge like PAR shows. It's the tongue & tackle
which are the big obstruction and risk to incautious fingers, especially when
the board is down. That tongue would act like a big pair of scissors if the
board struck bottom at any speed..
The case itself can be clambered over / around, & with a sealed top, would be a
reasonable basis for a table. If one could sit up to it...
