Thanks, Tim.
I wasn't there but they were still talking about the great weather at
Renmark the next year at Narromine.
Cunderdin was low and blue with broken thermals so the Open class may
have been at a disadvantage in the climbs at times.
The Benalla contest was a good mix of weather and these results would
seem to show that the Open Class gliders of the day, mainly Nimbus 2s
were a bit better than the ASW20 etc. Maybe the feeling that they
aren't as good is because of the pilots nowadays?
