Garage Works - 10/20/2025

This was how the conditions looked at the beach on my way home...

I figured I should rest today and take care of some things in the garage.


Knowing the wind is going to get up into the nuking range later this week, I first rigged the stoppers onto the BRM Maliko parawings.  I eventually figured out it was best to just place the stopper on the same loop that holds the bridle lines.  I got all three parawings completed and function checked.

Next, I made adjustments to the harness/leash belt.  I adjusted to locations of the stopper clips and the leash attachment point.

Then I slightly lengthened the harness hook line and placed some heat shrink over the lower part of the line.


I had contemplated placing the hook and slider onto my T9 harness (since I really haven't been winging lately) - but that webbing belt is 1.5" and the slider is a 2"

After that I cooked dinner and set about placing the stickers on No.42.  I also placed a few more pieces of deck pad 

Starboard side -so when I'm taking off or coming down off foil, I have a little more grip to control the board.


Port side


And lastly, I added some more epoxy to the points on the mast-adapter interface that had shown some corrosion. 


I'll try to get an M6 helicoil installation tool in the next day or so - that's pretty much all that's left to do on this repair.

Tomorrow the wind should be better than today - and that theme should continue throughout the week!
