I see. In other words.... there were only 65 gliders
in attendance and it was nothing like a normal WGC.

If the problems didn't happen then perhaps I am wrong.
I just can't see how 40 fully laden Std class ships
can cohabitate with 40 PW5's.

By the way - what comp are you talking about...?
1999
was a WGC year (Bayreuth Germany). Was it a juniors
or something...?

Hmmmmmnn

Ben -- your comments do not match what happened at
the the 1999 Leszno,
PL, competition with mobs of Std, 15m and World Class
ships flying
together. The kinds of problems you forsee never happened.

Outstanding. Have any of the people who dreamt up
that idea ever flown a glider…?
