The balance shifted in about 2015 with more of the pilots moving to the 15/18m gliders rather than straight 15m.

This paragraph was posted on the Schempp-Hirth FB page
"Apart from it being a tradition, we celebrated the deliveries of both the 700th Duo Discus, the 250 Arcus (see below) and, in a few weeks, the upcoming deliveries of the 200th Discus-2c and the very last produced Ventus-2."
