Another distance day. I was able to surf the upwind side of the rain and made the second area. Banquet might start late tonight!

Well done boys. Excellent job in a difficult class both in terms of the competiton and the performance of some brand new state of the art new sailplanes. We need to get you upgraded ships!

Beating Sebastian Kawa, winning Day 8 must have been a blast.

Good work!

Kawa won the championship by three points after sustaining an airspace violation on the last day (Hungarian border?). If Uli Schwenk had flown 2 or 3 km more he would have won!

Thanks everyone. Waiting for Vladas' file to be scored and hypothesising about the result was certainly thrilling. It was a very enjoyable contest on many levels. Hopefully in the next week or so I can get it down in writing.
