So a guy who is skilfull and astute enough to catch the wave before start may as well not bother? Why dont we all just go to the comps and rig our gliders and then stand around them drinking beer and slapping ourselves on the back?? I have won a few races in the old days by noticing that wave was there, climbing to 11,000 feet before start. It was there for all to see not just me. and I remember one flight at LK years ago where I flew the whole first leg of a 300 K triangle in wave, turned the fist TP at about 10 thou and only took my first thermal some 20, 30 k before the second TP, three thermals later and I was on final glide. start ten mins after the pack arrive home 15 before.
