No doubt! And, if what Peter says might true (that the outline coincides with 
the Folkboat external keel), it is not inconcieveable that the A30 ballast 
could have been poured by an extension of the Folkboat mold upward,  that is, 
by simply adding more material on top.
It is also not inconcieveable that the iron ballst in an A30 could be "popped 
out", removed with a picker through the cabin door, recast in lead and 
replaced. But as someone pointed out the last time I mentioned it, that would 
make us no longer "one-design".
