Open, 18m, and 15m classes, and the second grouping
the Standard, World, and Club classes.?

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

Let me spell it out. This means that 40+ fully laden
Standard Class gliders will be flying with 40+ Club
Class gliders and 40 PW5s (assuming 40 people bother
to show up with a PW5).



I reckon it will be more like 52 + 54 + about 10.
At least this class combination won't ever have the problem of
exceeding the 120 pilots per event limit.
