2022 Canadian National Soaring Competition

Chipman, Kanada,   23. maj 2022 – 03. junij 2022

Chipman Nats Day 6

The weather has been, well, familiar. Starting blue, scattered cumulous forming around noon, bases 9-12K. Light winds forecast for today. Forecast was for a good day, and a good task was planned - same one for both Club (3:30) and FAI (3:00) classes: Minimum distance of 250 km, max distance of 743, with a nominal distance of 482 kms. Turnpoints were Newbrook (66 km, 40 km radius), Barrhead (100 kms, 50 km radius), Duvernay (184 kms, 30 km radius), Holden (72 kms, 30 km radius) and back to Chipman (58 kms, 2 km radius).

Comments were that it was a strong day. One competitor spoke of taking only 10 thermals in a 5-hour flight. A lot of time flying straight and level and just pulling up into thermals and pushing on.

In FAI class, Chris Gough took the day averaging 137kph over 412 kms, Joerg Stieber came second with 140kph over 433 kms. Chris nows sits in the lead of the FAI class with 5874 points, but only a slim lead of 15 points ahead of Joerg going in to the last day tomorrow.

In Club class, Marian Rakusan took the day averaging 122kph over 433 kms, with David Cole in second place averaging 118 kph over 445 kms. David retains the overall Club class lead with 5637 points, 215 points ahead of Marian.
