2022 Canadian National Soaring Competition

Chipman, Canada,   23 mai 2022 – 3 juin 2022

Chipman Nats Day 5

The day started similar to yesterday, blue! The forecast was similar, but perhaps without as much cloud. Cloudbases were forecast to be quite high, around 10K. The tasks set were a little less ambitious than yesterday:

FAI Task (area) was 4 turnpoints and return: Kinsella (106km, 20km radius); Alliance (65 km, 35km radius); Bashaw (81km, 30 km radius); Holden (90km, 25km radius); return to Chipman (58km, 2 km radius). Distances were minimum of 281km, maximum of 553km, and the optimal distance was 401 km. Task duration 3:30

Club Class task (area) was three turnpoints and return: Kinsella (106 km, 25 km radius); Donalda (85 km, 40km radius); Holden (75 km, 25km radius); and return to Chipman (58 km, 2 km radius). Distances were minimum of 218 km, maximum of 467 km, and the optimal distance was 325 km. Task duration 3:00

 Tony Burton flying his Russia, took the Club Class with a distance of 285 km at an average speed of 85 kph. Tony said his average speed was abouit 10 kph faster than he would normally expect on a similar distance. Well done! David Cole has maintained his overall lead through all 5 contest days so far, with Marian Rakusan staying firmly in second place overall, again through all 5 contest days so far.

Joerg Stieber turned in another bistering result with a distance of 470 km at a speed of 130 kph. Joerg remains in first place overall with only a 56 point lead between him and Chris Gough in second place after 5 contest days.

For this evening social, we enjoyed a spectacular pulled pork dinner and some wonderful evening weather playing lawn games and just plain enjoying ourselves. The events crew has really gone above and beyond in the last couple weeks to create a fantastic experience for our competitors, ground crew, club members, and even a few visitors!
