Here's the glider you're after Adam.
Dick Butler's first ASW22, serial number two.
Tried to attach a pdf but it was too large, here's just the Wil Scheuemann
article on water ballast from Soaring, June 1984.

Well you could fly something that looks like one but
isn't.
Buy ASW22.
Make molds from it.
Build glider in those molds.
Nothing to stop you using pushrods, hardware etc out of the
one you
bought.
Call it the AW1 (or Superpuppup).
Put 850 Kg on the gross weight when you apply for the
Amateur built
Experimental certificate.

You heard it first here Bernard :)
Sadly the ASW22 that is for sale (at AU$70k landed in AUS),
is sn29, so a
small wingspan & limited to 750kg.
An offline response suggests pretty clearly I couldn't
fly it at 850kg
during a competition.
In the mean time, Schempp-Hirth all the way!

P.s. Ventus 3 (three), mmm
