It's a 20+ year-old design.

Yes, But it has been updated. Further, It is still competitive. It
beat the Duckhawk at the Nationals. I think you have it backwards;
Find a used DH and order a new 27B .


I have it frontwards: the OP can find and buy a used 27B, but not a used
DuckHawk. He'll have a lot of fun in a great glider while he waits to
see how the DuckHawk, and possibly other new 15 M gliders shake out,
then likely sell it at a good price if he decides to switch.

So buy a glider designed by Gerhard Waibel or a glider designed by someone
else. I think that is what they call a no brainer. If it starts ASW it's
gonna be right.
