National Gliding Championships Taupo 2020

Taupo, Nouvelle-Zélande,   2 février 2020 – 15 février 2020

Task 7 - 12th Feb

Task 6 was cancelled, so the prizegiving this morning was for yesterday's other activities and achievements!

The day got off to a bit of an uncertain start - Rasp and Skysight disagreed on details, but both indicated a late start to any development so a task was set and the launch was scheduled for the later time of 1300. Even then it was scratchy, and many struggled to get away, but by 1400 there was enough activity for everyone to get a start. You can see the results for yourselves, but once again everyone got home and the results are close. Great flying out there with some boomer thermals, some good convergence, and always a few of those great-looking Cu's with black bottoms that suck you in to going out of your way to get a climb and then produce 1knot up and 4 knots down!

Plenty to talk about over a very nice dinner at the Gliding Club courtesy of Bill Kendall and his wife Mary.
