NZ Club Class National Gliding Championships Jan 2019

Taupo, New Zealand,   January 27, 2019 – February 9, 2019

Day 7

Another beautiful day on the Central Plateau. 26 gliders are rigged and ready and rolled, now rollicking round the rocks. The task setters again looked at a racing task, but there is a possibility of overdeveloping so again it's an AAT, but Hey! - we're having fun and enjoying a few days of good weather in a row.

Yesterday produced some good flights with perhaps predictable results - Patrick, Sebastian and Keith leading the MSC class, and Mike, Mark Wilson and Tim the Club Class. It's still close overall, so the boys are working hard and flying harder. 

Sorry - got to go and do a retrieve!
