If this is an attached fin keel then I would be more concerned with the long
term effect of the compression load where the keel is attached.. Say the ballast only accounts for 4 to 6 tons, the remainder of the 10 ton will be concentrated on the faying surface between the keel and the hull.. This could ultimately cause damage to the internal keels support structures.. I recommend you consult the boat designer or builder or a competent naval architect.. Again, I find not fault in holding the boat upright with the mast but this provides not under hull support. -- My opinion and experience. FWIW Steve s/v Good Intentions |
