Rolf,
They must have had a super crew of drivers and retrievers, -that's over 22
launches per hour for eighteen hours. Two drum winch, 11plus each side per
hour,-5mins each launch and retrieve, wow that's impressive.
I can't see that one being exceeded anytime soon.
Regards
Glenn

I believe my old home club in the north west of Germany has the record number
of winch launches per day. On a mid June day late seventies, commencing
operations around 04:00 and flying through to about 22:00 (1/2 hr before and
1/2 hour after sun rise / set) we did 400 launches with one 2 drum winch.
Best Regards - Rolf

Nick and others
My record is 83 tows in one day in May with 2 bergfalkes (Geof Simm and
Warwick Kenny were instructors while I did tows). We dropped all ropes and
glider was sitting with rope attached and went straight on the tug. 10 years
earlier think we had about 75 winches with 2 single drum winches with scouts
etc

I would like Ian McPhee to tell us all (when he gets back from Melbourne)
what is the most number of winch launches he has done in a day.
Any one else want to have a crack at the title first?
