You're fortunate that you live in the U.K.; a tiny country with a lot
of gliders. This means you have a lot more choice and it'll be pretty
easy to go look at quite a few gliders.

If you're primary interest is winning club class competitions then you
should look at what glider most commonly wins and buy one of those
(yes, I know that handicapping theoretically means every glider should
be equal but..)



In the UK that would probably mean flying whatever G Dale flies!

You might find some of Derek Pigott's reports online:

However I don't think the archive is indexed, so it might take a lot
of time and dedication to find them.


Gee Dale flies a DG100/101? -sold his ASW24 for it has stated at the start
of this thread!
Wish we could leave all this advice trailers ect and focus on the
strength and weaknesses of the individual ships mentioned for CLUB CLASS
competition! Thanks for those that have done so.
