#4  Towards the stern, showing the amazing way the boat is constructed, those boards are two inches thick.

#5 The rudder and the pumps on the stern deck, lifted from the engine room.

#7 This is where the hull burst open when it was full of water as the tide went out.

#8 The forward damage.  You can see right into the innards of the hold and engine room.  The tide line at this side was the last 10.2 Metre tide mark from last week, while she was sat on the bottom.  When she went down the water level was washing over the deck but it had a force 10 gale behind it that day, a very heavy sea.

I can't see seven planks fixing that.  It needs a very large pond liner sliding under the hull and wrapping round her.
