What this means to me is that Ramy Yanetz is quite possibly the winner.
Ramy flys a ASW 27 and in my opinion is one of the very best long range,

for it, damn the torpedos, XC thermal pilots in the world.
Very few pure glider pilots are in his league and it has been that way
for
a long time.
120 mile final glides from 18k in the Sierra to Byron?
His latest flight up to the far Northern California coast and then out to
sea in the middle of nowhere near Ft. Bragg and return + more, raised my
eyebrows for sure, again.


A Mark Holiday from South Africa also had an impressive flight some years
back. Flew Something like 300k at an average speed of 250kph without
turning. Must have been a nice convergence or something like that.
