Paul,

According to the bylaws, "Alberg 30 boats supplied prior to Hull No.
27 were supplied with underweight ballast keels.  Such boats shall be
eligible for Class competition upon inspection by the Rules 
committee and certification that a maximum of 460 pounds inside 
permanent ballast may be added and may not be changed after
initial certification."

The other changes you discussed would, of course, invalidate the
boat for one-design competition.
