Unfortunately reality shows that an extremely small cockpit
(Ventus/Discus a, Diana 1) does not influence the outcome of a
competition - gliders with bigger cockpits don't show an disadvantage
in reality.

Well, let's see:

Leszno 2003 WGC, standard class: Discus 2a placed 1, 2, 3, 6 (other top
ten gliders were LS8, and a lone ASW 28 and Discus 2).
Leszno 2003 WGC, 15 m class: 5 Ventus 2a or 2ax in the top ten (with 4
ASW-27 and a lone Ventus 2bxr prototype).

It seems at least to indicate that the better pilots like the small
cockpits!
