In the late 70s were 15M speeds faster than open class speeds? I
think Malcom Jinks and Tony Tabart would disagree!

Would someone please dig up the results from say the Renmark
Nationals(Cirrus and Hornet in Standard class vs Nimbus etc in Open),
the following year at Narromine and Benalla 79-80 and Waikerie 80 -
81(15m classes and at Narromine in 77-78 the 15m and Open flew the
same tasks - 15M was in Open class too), Narromine 81 - 82(LS4 came
on the scene) and see how these terrible old gliders went when flown
by good pilots, please? Just use the speeds of the people from first
down to 90% of the winning score.
Then we can all bleat from a position of knowledge. Probably less fun, though.
