James I need to step in here Maffioli is the most advanced rope on the market. By a long way, not only does it have a larger than standard SK75 core. The core is 12 strand and UV coated rather than the standard 8 plait non uv coated core.

Also you have not mentioned yet your Speedpucks on each side of your boom!!! They should be both with you by friday I have pulled some strings.

Both, 2 Speedpucks is deffinately not Pimp, its just plain Greedy! 

In this time of econic gloom you should be reaching out and embrassing fellow humans and sailors, it is for this reason Jimbo, that you should give me one of you speedpucks!  It will give you that warm feeling of "Charity"

MGP can talk the talk, but it's not a thing of beauty. And the smallest diameter is 8mm, when we all know racing cheese wire is pimp!

Ahh, rope one of my mastermind subjects!

I was talking about ropes like to like between manufacturers.

For a 4mm control line style rope you can not really get better than Maffioli 78race. http://www.ldcracingsailboats.co.uk/index.asp?selection=deta iled&uid=9745

It has a silver SK78 (the new version of dyneema) core with a kevlar and polyester jacket which loves cleats. I have a lot of it on my 800 it is the titties. 

I could get it with a kevlar and cordura jacket if you wanted to buy 1000m!

At that price does it also tell you when to tack?

How much p/m for the kevlar and cordura jacket? What does cordura do as well as sounding cool? Perhaps all the pimpers should get together in a pimp syndicate to split the 1000m. Cant be pimped without it.

What I would really like for this weekend is a heated mainsheet please. Surely it is possible to make one that generates heat every time it moves or is bent around a corner. Please can you look into it for me Adam?

I'll try -  the full mod list is - old deck off, reduce freeboard (a lot!), new centreboard case moved forward, new transom, and new deck. I didn't mention the full list before as just saying redeck fitted better with respray and rerope
