Garage Works - 7/12/2025

Long story, but I got my BRM Maliko (v1) 5.1 back -

And I went ahead and got it fitted to the Carbon-EVA bar - feels so good in hand!


But I also set it up for the 2-1 purchase retract.

Easy enough to get it put together -


And after swapping out the small ring I originally bought for one of the rings I salvaged from the windsurfing sails La cut apart, it worked flawlessly.

But without the benefit of steady winds to test the balance of the bridle lines, I wasn't able to get the level of control I wanted from this setup.


I got it changed back to direct connection to the bar.

I'll work on getting the bridle lines balanced and getting a better understanding of how the B line settings work.  

And also getting a harness line setup (I'm picking up a new chest harness that I think may work better for parawinging).
