US-glider guiders only: Article in last Soaring by

Here is the set-up:

Does anyone know what glider that is? by
GM
Ran accross this nice clip on YouTube posted by the Bacchus Marsh Soaring group in Australia. At 3:11, a wing-mounted camera shows a glider I can't identify. It looks like a side-by-side glass ship with a conventional tail.
Just curious what that glider is.
Thanks,
GM
