shoal keels are any keels that allow a boat to have a fairly shallow draft.
Scheel keels are a type of shoal keel, developed and patented by Henry A. Scheel. It is designed to generate more hydrodynamic lift than a traditional keel, while lowering the center of gravity and reducing the draft required.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
