Since the German Aerospace Center (DLR) owned an Open Cirrus once for
comparison in Idaflieg polar measurements, the Cirrus polar should be

SeeYou mobile?
SeeYou has two polars, Cirrus 18m, with a L/D of 39:1 and Cir.L265,
with a L/D of 44:1
The 44:1 matches the Cirrus’s L/D, but I’ve never seen it called Cir.
