English term or phrase: sail with virtually Zero draft

Aus einem Artikel, in dem es an dieser Stelle um zurückgezogen lebende Indianerstämme geht:

"The only way to reach some of these places is via special boats that can “sail” with virtually Zero draft, so-called airboats. "

Ich vermute mal, es wird darauf angespielt, dass Luftboote nun einmal ohne Segela auskommen, aber sicher bin ich mir nicht. Wie versteht ihr die Beschreibung?
