I have to say your bimbles on the 600 are a complete waste of money.
You dont neet to adjust the rig tension enough to warrent having it adjustable on the water, and whats with all the loops and rings and sh%t on your kicker. The standard system works just fine. Last time I noticed you didnt need to play the kicker, its not a J80 downwind you know !! |

Wow possibly a little harsh. The rings are so you can wack the kicker off from any where on the rack, like going from a tight reach to a broad one without moving forward. And the rig tension is pretty much for those days when i don't put on enough for the conditions or just want to tweak it on.
As for a waste of money the rope was a £5er from the boat to replace the chafed bit that was already there and the block was kicking around in the tool box. but it's my boat and it helps me sail it, hopefully better although your opinion was duly noted this is a page about pimping to which you have only contributed criticism  |

The forestay adjuster is pimp i think, the kicker thing on elastic is just that little bit too practicle, that comes under bimble and will shortly be being copied onto my boat.

Haha sorry mike, i should have used gold rings
if you need a hand rigging it (which i doubt you will) give me a shout. Although i have to confess it wasn't strictly my idea the only issue with it, is that you have to unsplice the continuous part of the kicker, but i change the kicker line at the same time...
