[Public-list] Ballast location

[Mike Lehman]

If you visit the website and view the line drawing, I think you can see 
there the cast iron ballast is in the keel.

I own hull number 48, and I'm wondering where the iron ballast is located in 
the keel.  I would assume it's primarily at the forward part of the keel, 
extending aft three feet or so.  Is this accurate?  A related question: What 
is below the bilge in the engine compartment and just forward of the engine 
compartment floor - that is, the transverse glassed in structure that 
supports the cabin sole?  The resin in the area is cracked and clearly 
porous.  Is this area designed to shed water through the garboard drain?  Do 
most A30s have a garboard drain installed or is mine likely from a previous 
owner?

Apologies for the barrage of questions.  I hope they're clear.

Thanks!
David
