Seems like no pimping for a while, been some changes on the contender.
It was starting to look a bit tired from many repairs using
uncolourmatched gelcoat and small dinks from 25 years use so it has
gone from the quill silver to a lovely paegant blue along with a full
harken kit out, but that has been gradually added over time.

After a few hours of use of compressor:

possibly pimp? mainly unnecessary and pricey

Surely that is just the base to start the pimping from?

Looks good, though.

I am still waiting for LDC to let me buy one of the new style sails for my next pimp, although i am currently replacing my tape kicker calibration marks with a rather trick metallic red paint!  I'll post some photos when Ive finished.

it's mark's old boat too isn't it?

Yep it is marks old boat, gone through another owner then got to me in a
little bit of a state

@rich: didn't realise it was your boat too, seems to have got around a bit. I
think it won the worlds a long while back with John webb (i think it was BNS
who told me about that bit) where did you used to sail 443?
