Hi all David Jansen has just submitted another update. It is enclosed for your information. Cheers Bernard Sunday, 3 August 2008 David A tricky first day for the contest with low cloud, strong winds and rapid thermal cycling with large areas of overdevelopment to contend with! The 15m launch was held for 10 minutes while the 18m gliders were re-lighting and going for a second time. I landed a 4 knot climb right off the tug whilst Graham had to contend with 1.5 knots for some time before getting to altitude. We decided to be conservative from the outset as just getting home today was essential and everything else would be a bonus. There were a number of notable outlands in the 18m class including Wolfgang Janowitsch and the Britz. I'm not sure of the tally in the 15m class. We pretty much did our own thing (for better or worse) and didn't see much of the other guys most of the day. The rest of the 15m class that completed the task did so as one or two rather large gaggles. We were pleased not to be part of it however it may have been to our detriment but we hope not too much?
