The front hull was torn off, just at the front beam. This shows the bulkhead, under the front beam. The two bolts you see at the top are the bolts that go through the front of the beam strap

This is the front 5 feet of the hull that was torn off. You can clearly see the no slip decking that goes on top of the hull, & how it is attached. Also note the stringers, going forward, across the hull, then back down the opposite side. These strin

Here is another shot of the upper non slip decking. You can see that it sits on a fairly large "lip". IF you need access these decks can be removed, then resin applied & glued back into place.

Here is a shot inside the starboard hull, looking rearwards. You can see the trunk for the dagger board. Top of photo is the top deck, where you would sit. The line of rivets on the right side is how the tramp track is attached.

Here is a close up of the tramp track rivets. It is a composite of two photos, so the rivets do not line up. Notice there is no backing plate, they were simply inserted in a drilled hole & pulled. If repairing I would place an aluminum washer on each

Here is the same hull, looking backwards, showing the outside wall of the hull. You can see how chain plate that the shroud attaches to is glassed in with extra layers for strength. There does not seem to be a backing plate, however a small one could be b

Here is the transom. You can see the 4 bolts that hold the lower rudder attachment. There does not appear to be a backing plate, only washers under the nuts. The hole at the bottom is the rear hull drain plug. If you look at the very lower left you can

Front beam, you can see that these early model 5.2s did not utilize the 1/2 moon shaped beam chocks (bolted through the beam into the hull that prevented rotation of the beam. This older model used a tube running down the center of the tramp, riveted to t
