crazy and paint teh mainsheet arm.

Never seen it done anywhere before so does that make me a
pioneer of pimp?

Yes Pioneer pimp fella, but it begs the question why has your mum painted her Calipers pink?  I did that to my car when i was 17!

I've got one side of my ratchet block metallic blue so I know which way through to put the mainsheet, unfortunately my other bit of pimp, the vectran kicker, has died a death this weekend. Does anyone know of a rope more pimp than vectran for a cascade kicker (I refuse to go back to wire)?
600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it.
Also International 14, 1318

Depends if the number of iron crosses equates to the number of German

So, I didn't notice any comment from the pimpmeister on my faux fur lined
spinnaker chute idea..

It's game on now with a pretty bland Blaze that will need uber-pimp-arbeit..

vectran wears out, as soon as the fibres begin to frey it can fail without warning, not tried the new SK78 dyneema, but apparently its good stuff.

interior.
