could be done but would need to be done correctly
ie pop off the bow decks
add extra glass for a structural bow spreader bar, top section of a carbon windsurfer mast?, and tramp mounts
while decks were off check stringer bonding and maybe make and add a glass\foam10mm?\glass bulkhead about a meter fwd of the beam

Yes it could be done, however you won't put anyone out there. The 5.2 does not tolerate weight very well. I think we have been down this road 2 summers ago.

Front tramp on a 5.2 is a bad idea, not enough floatation in the front to handle it.

Thanks our point exactly. The 5.2 does not tolerate weight very well. If you think it does then we have to agree to disagree.
