Seems like no pimping for a while, been some changes on the contender.
It was starting to look a bit tired from many repairs using uncolourmatched gelcoat and small dinks from 25 years use so it has gone from the quill silver to a lovely paegant blue along with a full harken kit out, but that has been gradually added over time. Pics: Before with tester patch of primer: Pic 1 After a few hours of use of compressor: Pic 2 Showing against the colour of the decks: Pic 3 possibly pimp? mainly unnecessary and pricey Edited by DaveL |

Surely that is just the base to start the pimping from? Looks good, though. |

I am still waiting for LDC to let me buy one of the new style sails for my next pimp, although i am currently replacing my tape kicker calibration marks with a rather trick metallic red paint! I'll post some photos when Ive finished.

Yep it is marks old boat, gone through another owner then got to me in a little bit of a state @rich: didn't realise it was your boat too, seems to have got around a bit. I think it won the worlds a long while back with John webb (i think it was BNS who told me about that bit) where did you used to sail 443? |
