Salty, she looks good but i'm affraf mate its a thumb down from me..
First off Leather ona  dinghy is deffo GIMP, surely when it gets wet you are going to have black dye running over your nice clean cockpit floor, not only this Leather goes hard after drying. 
Is that a real carbon pad below the mainsheet block or that stick on stuff often seen on the dashboard of Saxo VTR's?? 
 
I am liking the Rings though, that is a Pimp.

Well i found a bit of scrap leather lying around and i had nothing better to do so i thought i would do it just for the hell of it. The boat is going to the dinghy show aswell so its just something a bit different to show off, ill probably end up taking it off when i get out sailing again.

And yes unfortunately it is only the carbon vinyl. It doesnt look too bad though.

The rings are the most pimp thing on the boat now. They cost an absolute arm and a leg but they do look the nuts.

salty i would suggest swift removal of that GIMP leather foreskin thing before you take it down the club, you'll never hear the end of it otherwise!  the rest of the boat is sweet but having the leather gator out of an xr3i just isnt pimp mate...

haha your not a fan then oli! im sure jon will send me some abuse if he sees it so yeah i might get rid of it. It does actually have a slight bit of purpose though. the mainsheet used to get caught on the spring, and im not gonna go and waste some money on one of those grey plastic spring things, so i just thought i would cover the metal one up!

Use a squash ball.  Go your local club and there will be loads of ones with splits in lying around.
