Inside of hulls are finished, (UK call them "cabinets"). Early Sparks didn't have them, & the very latest boats, about 2010 IIRC also dropped them.
Orange bit is the paddle designed to fit inside hull hatch.

how it was when i picked it up. 2 pc mast is very popular in UK/Europe, as many people car top their Darts. It also means they don't have to pay extra charges when taking ferry's to mainland or islands.

My '91 Dart. This is not the original sail. I found an article from the original owner,(who immigrated to Canada then sold the boat several years later) in the UK association magazine who stated he bought this sail "from a guy in Newcastle"...

Close up of of hull attachment. The entire boat is assembled without tools.
Press sping inwards, lift tab, then pull hull outwards. The tab prevents hulls from moving outwards, tramp tension keeps them inwards.
