Many of the 'pimps' on the 'pimp my skiff' page are indeed bimbles in
definition.

Outstanding!

Classic Dinghy quotes by J WL Brace

         

Nice one ... too many favourites to quote one ... clearly you are very busy at the moment thinking of the next craaaazy PIMP for your shinny 300

Back to the carbon boom it is then

Probably my most pimped boat is my Micro Magic!

Carbon fibre servo trays made out of a free sample I picked up at the boat show a few years ago from the Harken stand

4 complete carbon (SkyShark stunt kite spars) stumped rigs (like a 12) with home made square top sails and tapered glass battens.  The backstay cranes are also carbon and came off a piece of surplus 12 foot skiff spaceframe!

Rod (not string) steering with cockpit mounted rubber bellows to stop water getting in

Harken boom stickers cut from the teeny Harken logo on the "Harken High Performance Sailing Gear" bit under their Port/Starboard stickers

Carbon mast foot lock

Customised wheelhouse windows

Internal antenna system made from moused drinking straws to improve aesthetics, watertightness and rig change time

Padded velcro cradle strap made from a piece of the sling I was wearing following my biking accident

Individual laminate ply rig storage bags made from some of P&B's finest ODL4 sailcloth

Dyneema standing rigging

I could go on...
