Team flying undoubtedly helps both of them. However, a team is only as
fast as its slowest member. If the JS1 were a dog, would the team be
doing as well?

After flying together for several dozen hours in this contest, the
Jonker brothers will have a pretty good idea of how the performance of
the JS1 compares to that of the Ventus 2c. Of course, they won't share
that knowledge if the Ventus has the better performance, and no one will
believe them if they say the JS1 is better.

Yes, it is doing well. BUT, download the IGC files and watch it on See
you. Team flying with his first place buddy on everyday is what you
will see. Best regards, # 711.

A very respectable start by any standards . After eight consecutive
contest days the new South African built 18 m glider is only just out
of first place in a field with many excellent established brand name
sailplanes behind . Yesterday's task resulted in a flight of over 700km
at very good speeds.
This is a Sailplane to watch .
Check out the SSSA site for complete details.

Check yesterday's performance.

And look at relative position on IGC ranking of Uys (156) and Adriaan (67)
Jonker. These are not beginners.
