Replacing all the ropes with Maffolli is pretty much a standard pimp now, its a bit like having a set of alloy wheels on a car - neccessary.

Carbon fibre compas bracket/ drinks holder? put some new, different (patterned?) grip on your 700 racks?

Thats a good one Tom if you go to Alegeos.co.uk they have some funky progrip, some of it is tragic though. How about getting a different kite sock made in a different colour?

Surely a remote control spinni halyard is te ultimate pimp for the 700, just imagine being able to hoist while flat out on the wire!

yeah, after i finished them i i noticed that i got the wrong name but
decided it would be far to much effort to correct them so they will stay like it
until i find my self with lots of spare time again.

got a bit more work to do on the spare dagger board which i have rebuilt
and fully intend to give a pimp paint job for a giggle. and am mid way
through converting my £5 pound carbon carp poles for some spare tiller
extensions.

havent sailed it yet but am shipping it to the isle of scilly on the 8th for the
summer so should get it out in a couple of weeks, cant wait to get back into
swimming :D

I might add though that the progrip on the rudder post is all most a non pimp  as that is really functional in a blow and waves. I quite often find myself that far back with one foot in the loop and the other on the rudder post for stability.

For total pimp though you do need to have a Harken airblock on the rudder downhaul .. totally unecessary
