Why has that boat got a football hung off the front of it?

I guess it has to stay class legal but that dosn't mean they can't create a real eye catching pimped Fireball ...

Lepoard skin effect sails with tinted windows of course ...

Lurid pink mast and stunning paint job.

Spinners on the trolley for sure ...

They have to be inspired by these images ....

They only have a limited time frame, so turning a 70's Cherub into a 2005 rules boat was probebly an unrealistic aim!

I agree, though, that the paint job is going to have to be pretty damm special.

Perhaps "pimping" a development class boat would have made slightly more interesting reading...

An old fireball with new sails? We've never seen that before! Can we have something a bit more imaginative please Y&Y.

I have abstained from voting.

Good idea - otherwise it will end up us "renovate my boat" and not pimp my boat. It has to become chavtastic - all pink sails perhaps????

That's

A) Boring

B) Unrealistic. No matter how good the new sails, mast or fancy fittings, none of those boats will be remotely competative if put up against a New Winder / Vandercraft Etc.

So why not have a bit of fun and do something worthwhile with it.?
