The original flight manual has the usual single polar curve, based on the

One may wonder where this kind of beautiful continuous polar comes from,
except if the glider has a continously movable flap lever. With the
usual disposition of a small number of discrete settings, the polar
should at least exhibit a kink when the setting changes.
