Dont worry craig no friction to be found my friend. And yes i think a 6mm vectran forestay is pimp as well as an adjustable splice on the vang to give perfect kicker control 

Also i think my kite halyard takeup is pretty swish!

Can I ask a silly question?  What is a continuous mainsheet?

I'm guessing he means that the mainsheet and jib sheet are in effect one rope, as per 9ers and 14s. Its makes swapping the sheets between helm and crew easier and works well on boats with self tackers where you only have a single job sheet.
Upwind crew plays mainsheet, helm can run hand down sheet to adjust jib as necessary, but essentially crew takes it across the boat for him during tacks. When you bear away crew hands sheet to helm and sorts kite out, so there is never any dropping sheets in the middle of the boat.

Anyway back to pimping, whos going to be the first to get their 300 a vinyl rap?

Rather than painting your hull, companies out there can produce in effect a massive sticker with whatever graphics you want on it. Its how the likes of the V070 "Puma" are made to look so go. Can you imagine painting that design on the boat ?

That would definitely be a pimp and not a bimble! Although i doubt that's class legal

RS all classes rules 4.9

There will be no restricition on the No or coverage of  advertisers logo`s or slogans except for the front 25% of the hull & the bottom 10% of the mainsail are reserved for event & circuit sponsors.

So it`s OK

Ok guys, pimping opinion poll time.  Do I make my toestraps out of some camo material or make them completely white from sail cloth so that they match the whiteness of the boat??  Colour coded of colour clashing monstrosity. 
Oh and I've just found some pink blocks :-D .That's made my day!!  Just need to find an application for them before actually splashing out and ordering.

Surely the toestraps should be adorned with sequins ?
