There is no way that racing yacht keels are filled with concrete, (maybe some home built yachts) Weight low down is vital, so lead is the most common, with cast iron used on older yachts. But some of the high tech racers, use spent plutonium, which has been banned in some boats. Concrete does not have the weight required, absorbs water, and does not adhere to grp or cf. I know it is off topic.marcush. wrote:I just do not want to believe Mercedes would be in a position to move ballast forward..![]()
apart from that: nice idea...racing yachts have keels filled with concrete ...(maybe nowadays tungsten as well?)

But in regard to Mercedes, it would be quite easy to move the ballast, provided that there is space to relocate it.
