Pimp Club

I was just a month or so ago all set for a National 12 but my money situation
has taken a turn for the worst. Plus to top it off, the person who was going
to crew for me in the 12 has made other plans....Doh!!
So now I'm looking at a streaker. I know, I know, not as beautiful, technical
nor pimpable as a 12 but it's what I can afford.
Custom made toestraps, Karver blocks where applicable, my own sail design
made from Contender RS4. I'm sure after flicking through a few catalogues
i'll find some new fancy gizmos to put on there.

First major pimp on the moth....(aside from the complete re-spray ) is my new mainsheet system!

6m of maffioli mainsheet, 1 x 40mm orbit ratchet block and 2 x 30mm orbits.... shame i have to wait for the 30's to come from australia though....not cheap but should be worth it

 

GBR884, I see your respray and re-rope, and raise you - a redeck!

 

Loads of people have Harken on there boat or the Ronstan orbit blocks but there still more pimp than some of the others out there. So yea i recon maffioli is pretty pimp 

You said it James. Italian things that look cool and are less than completely practical are unquestionably pimp  (plus my 600 has lots of maffioli after the dinghy show's bargain buckets)
