It didn't look good at grid time with high cirrus and mid level cloud cutting off the heating. Launch was postponed to 13:00 and tasks were changed to B:
18m - 363 km
15m - 373 km
Once we were on task, conditions were better than what the dismal looking sky was promising. Climb rates up to 9kt made it one of the fastest days of the contest for 15m class. The 15m class winners did 142 kph. My speed was 132 kph which is not bad for a standard class glider.
The scores for 15m are still not published at this time.
In 18m class the Australian team aced it again. Jerzy came 7th.
