I am pleased that the list is fulfilling its purpose - discussion
amongst people widely separated across the continent.
While I fully understand the desire to offer today's capability the
sport has, I am looking for insights as to how people are making the
transition.
Without which there may be a small sport. (GFA had aspirations of
membership of about 2000 by 2010)(the comp scene suggests a sport size
of 500)
With the absence of a YearBook, I can't track for myself - how many
gliders in the overall fleet today are <10, <20, <30 years old.

With all due respect Emilis but what you call perfectly satisfactory
hardware is considered scrap metal by others. The most modern piece of
hardware on offer in the recent posts is an ASK 21, which is just a
ASK 13 in fibre glass, i.e. a 40 plus year old design and actually 30
years old. No wonder clubs are not queuing up to spend their limited
cash on them. It's not unhealthy at all to want something a little
more of todays equipment rather than vintage.
