I am looking to purchase a new (to me) XC ship. Which ones have the
largest/roomiest cockpit? Not for a tall person, one with broad

shoulders,
about 5'9 and 200lbs. Discuss and Thank you in advance!

Probably best avoided if you are big across the shoulders are the LS
gliders
especially 6, 7 or 8 as they are quite tight. The LS4 is a bit better.
Schempp-
Hirth and Schleicher gliders generally better (except S-H A models which
are
very narrow, even worse than LS6/7/8,)
