I added this the other day:

some new standard pro grip, PLUS a Gorilla Grip surf pad (idea curtesy of merlinboy i think)

the pads on the side deck work really well for sailing downwind. The block at the front of the pad gives you something to push against and not slide forward.

The middle pad is useful for stopping me from stacking it across the boat during a tack when ive slid down into the cockpit.

Yes it does, thats the whole point in pimping.  I think the uber pimp on a 600 would be a completely custom mainsail like a super square top large roach main!  Completely illegal but super cool!

I need some pimping ideas for the 600, so far I've got -

De-cleated, extra big mainsheet block, continuous cunningham over the foredeck and D12 kicker but they are just bimbles. Does replacing perfectly good rope and elastic just because I don't like the colour count as pimp?

Thats a good idea. If i took the jaws out the cleat and
kept the arm there i could use it as a bottle opener on
light wind days.

My poor old boat 600's are supposed to be manly, the pink class flag is supposed to be ironic

I was aiming at the pink bit not the cleat. But to be
honest im finding it harder to sail it with the cleat on
there . I might have to take it off again.
