Peter Smith
My father was twice national soaring champion & flew in 3 world
contests. Whenever he flew as a passenger, he got airsick.
Me, I'm a lousy glider pilot, but I never get airsick.
Go figure.

Which GRP single-seater has the lowest cockpit weight? by
Dan G
A friend of mine weighs just 110lbs with parachute. With ballast, she
can fly some K13s and a couple of wooden single-seaters which have
particularly low cockpit min weights.
Which GRP single-seaters tend to have low min weights, and how much is
it?
