1) Fin keel: technically "quille à aileron", but "quillard" is usually referred to a fin keel boat (long keel --> quille longue)

2)Twin keels: double quillard, but "biquille" is more and more common

3) Lifting keel: quille relevable

That's right :
1) quillard
2) biquille
3) quille relevable
We have also 4) dériveur lesté : short main keel with (swinging or lifting) center-board.
And 5) dériveur intégral : "flat bottom" with ballast and center board inside the boat.
