       16 . A protection structure according to  claim 15 , wherein said steel is stainless.  
   
   
       17 . A section configured to be fixed to a keel or to parts to be profiled of a boat, the section extending for at least a length section of the keel or said parts, and including a longitudinal recess therein.  
   
   
       18 . A section according to  claim 17 , wherein said recess is associated to a plastic-material filling element.  
   
   
       19 . A protection structure for a boat keel comprising: 
 a section having a length corresponding to the length of said keel;    a recess longitudinally formed in said section;    a plastic filling material filling at least a portion of said recess; and    a plurality of fixing means for fixing said section to said keel.    
   
   
       20 . A protection structure according to  claim 19 , wherein said section is a steel list having a hump-like profile.  
   
   
       21 . A protection structure according to  claim 20 , wherein said section is obtained by bending starting from a rectangular-or-trapezoidal-section list; said list being equipped with at least a greater flat face with a predetermined high surface finishing.  
   
   
       22 . A protection structure according to  claim 19 , wherein said section is substantially a “C”-shaped cross-section.  
   
   
       23 . A protection structure according to  claim 19 , wherein said filling material is a plastic material section.  
   
   
       24 . A protection structure according to  claim 19 , wherein said plastic filling material is PVC.  
   
   
       25 . A protection structure according to  claim 23 , wherein said filling material has an external surface conjugated with an internal surface of said section.  
   
   
       26 . A protection structure according to claims  19 , wherein said filling material has a substantially circular-sector-shaped section.
