2026 Canadian National Gliding Competition

Rockton, Canada,   27 July 2026 – 7 August 2026

Sun 2 Aug - Day 5

Today is a rain day and the day was called last night, freeing everyone up to do other things for the day.  Yesterday we tried, 2 sniffers as well as a few club gliders were launched, but thermals were weak and only up to 2100 AGL.  At 2 PM the day was scrubbed.  A few pilots launched and found climbs to 5000 ft around 3 pm, but the lift was very localized and there were rain showers along the course line.  After landing they deemed the task to be unachievable.
