Nacra 5.5 Uni project boat

I was given a Nacra 5.5 with the hulls pulled apart from the beams. The beams are damaged, but everything else looks pretty good. I need to figure out whether my collection of pieces belong together, and how they go together, and what unique differences my boat has picked up over the years in the way it's set up. I think it was originally a 17ft first generation 18sq that was chopped down to the 8.5' beam, and then the hulls were destroyed and replaced with these 18ft (actual 5.5) hulls. I'm hoping this album will be browsed by those that might know Nacras pretty well and get some comments on anything they notice that is unusual or needs attention as I try and get this thing going.

Stay hydrated. Almost ready to sail, just a few detail tasks left.

First testing of assembled hulls (with new beams) raising the mast and sail to make sure all the measurement worked out. No tramp yet. It's an 18sq sail!

Seems to be an 18sq sail - doesn't sit quite right.
