Delaminating Azimut 55s....thoughts?

There is no safe margin. The boat belongs on the trash heap. Someone in the business of salvaging such boats could possibly rebuild it and then make money on it, but that's a very special skillset and business niche. You, not having the experience or knowledge, don't stand a chance.

I disagree, because even the worst imaginable slings placement could never justify/explain that disaster.

There's another possibility though, and it's that the crane (or travel lift, whatever) suffered a sudden freefall, after which it recovered the hold, causing a massive dynamic load (due to the boat weight combined with the fall acceleration) on those points of the hull.
Sometimes, when this happens, the boat falls free down to earth, but if that would be the case also the keel and pods would be heavily damaged.
The type of accident I'm envisaging is different, actually very rare AFAIK, and I never witnessed one.
But I heard that there was an old travel lift model which was notorious for these random defects.

Anyhow, whatever the real story is, pretending that the normal boat value can be restored with $125k worth of patches is beyond a joke.

PS: not that it matters now, with the boat in those conditions, but also the way the chocks are arranged and placed cries out for justice.
What sort of Mickey Mouse yard is that?

Standard protocol.

Here's a side shot of the 55 Sport. Based on the delam pic above, looks like CG would be center of the Rubik's cube windows. To me, it looks like the slings were properly placed.

The frustrating part about this is the level of education available to boat builders from the composite manufactures. It comes down to shoddy workmanship.

Do you even know who owns the boat now. Previous owner or insurer or yard? And who has liens on the boat. In a strange irony I can see the yard damaging it, an insurer paying for it and now the yard having a sizable lien on it. Who knows?

Yeah, I also said it doesn't matter anymore, on that boat.
But it seems to me that there is a an identical (way too narrow and inelastic) pile of chocks under the bow of the boat in background.
Which smells of generalized incompetence, rather than disregard of just an already doomed boat.

While not at the show (was booked and life got in the way), I was in Ft Laud a few months ago on several Galeons and I will say I was shockingly pleased. I was expecting more of a Mutt experience, but the build felt good and love the out of the box thinking that adds space. All depend on how you will use the boat, but if you are looking for a somewhat local cruiser that feels bigger than it is... I would highly consider it.
