hi 5.2 lovers, measured a dagger from my 1982 5.2 today and compared it with the beautiful carbon dagger that came with my 2009 weta trimaran
5. 2 dagger specs were - 1330mm x 290mm x 22mm, 5kg, old shape and only just floats
weta dagger - 1320mm x 285mm x 23mm, 2.5kg, modern shape and very buoyant
if the 5.2 boards fit the alphacat you should be able to buy them reasonably cheaply from the classifieds on this site. they have a resin? heavy core material but if they are too large you should be able to cut them down without too much effort. the same boards are used in other 1980's nacras, you can check which by looking at the old parts list at performance catamarans
it looks like the weta boards would also work in the 5.2 if the carpet strips were thinner, 2 weta boards would save 5kg, 12lbs? but wouldn't be cheap
