Do you mean that every glider will have to a weather
handicap value for
each strength of weather? In your example your Nimbus
needs a
'favourable' weathercap on strong days and the smaller
gliders need
their favourable number on weak days.

What I'd like is a handicap calculation that allows
my small glider to
score top points when I land out trying to cross those
reeeeeally big
blue gaps that only your big wings can handle :-)
