No not yet. Although i was thinking about it. So far i have
cut out the basic thick to thin pad that goes along the
deck. Ive got some time before i can put it on the boat so
I could still cut a pattern out of it. i could maybe even
get some different coloured pro grip to fill then the
spaces that would be pimp.

Anyone got any ideas for decorative patterns?

It wasn't my splices that went, It was the rope around the shackle. Can you get SK78 in purple to match the progrip on my sidedecks? The vectran was yellow so it sort of worked. I'm thinking of putting hard eyes in the splices this time round, they may have to be sprayed to match the rope/progrip or something.
600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it.

Yes unnecessary enough to be pimp.

Now all you need to do is cut the whole thing in half
man up and sail one hull..

Oh and don't colour clash your BB Cap with the kite. Doh Cat sailors don't they know anything?

I was aiming at the pink bit not the cleat. But to be
honest im finding it harder to sail it with the cleat on
there . I might have to take it off again.

My poor old boat 600's are supposed to be manly, the pink class flag is supposed to be ironic

Thats a good idea. If i took the jaws out the cleat and
kept the arm there i could use it as a bottle opener on
light wind days.

I need some pimping ideas for the 600, so far I've got -

De-cleated, extra big mainsheet block, continuous cunningham over the foredeck and D12 kicker but they are just bimbles. Does replacing perfectly good rope and elastic just because I don't like the colour count as pimp?
