Boomerangs Blokes, you two must be kidding! The only way they could be blokes would be if they were Gay. They are female for the following reasons, 1. They are very sweet to fly, 2. If you treat them with respect they perform veeeery well, 3. Treat them to rough and they are more difficult to maintain, 4. They are simple yet complex and 5. Other pilots are jealous of their performance. Bloke gliders are things like Ventus A + B, anything with wings over 15 m and friggin Blaniks, Jantars and Fokas'.
