Thats right i must of pimped most of the RS300 fleet by now!! It was much cheaper doing all 3 of my 300's then one 505!!! Trust me.
Anyway i seem to remember Jimbo talking about a bulk purchase of goodies online recently. But as yet i have not seen ANY evidence of 100 pimping. Obviously the 100 came out of the factory Pimped, but they have sold so many now modification is a must for any true dinghy pimper!!! C'mon TT you are getting slacker then a pair of Grumpfs briefs!!

That's right one sail - but one string? Pimp club has a history of SMOD's - Merlinboys 5oh is probably the first proper boat to draw much interest.

Good man. I use a 6mm main on my Osprey. You feel no pain at all.
Same for the Genoa sheets and same for the the kite, tapered to 3.5 mm. Nice one with the carbon pole. I hadn't realised how light they were until I compared with my alloy one. Carbon boom is a must. Not only pimp, but so much less painful and noisy on the head. Mind you, it'll make bugger all difference to me until I lose a couple of stone. PS. Why is Neptune commenting on this? He only has one sail and one piece of string on his boat. |

Pierre, New kite sheets are definitely on the Menu in the next few weeks, courtesy of Bov (Ian Turnball) just need to sort some more dosh out (i have a CST carbon pole and a one off carbon boom to order/pay for) They will look Pimp and be of a smaller diameter. The current ones are chunky and too heavy in the boring stuff. However when my brother was crewing they ticked the box as he has very soft lady like skin and he didn't want to hurt his little paws to much (bender) Now i am crewing i was thinking about tapered fishing line...

Actually Neptune...Yes! Its more acurate and can be adjusted between races. Otherwise you would be un-tying kite sheets between races.
