The only boat with internal ballast I can think of which stands up to the wind reasonably is the Red Fox.
If you are talking about sailing boats rather than yachts, as you mention 'boat', then you are still overlooking just about every wooden working boat since year dot, like the smack I posted above. All these were, as far as I know, internally ballasted and mostly very seaworthy.
I'm not sure which bit of the thread you mistakenly think I haven't read. Strange comment.
