The results at World Championships level don't suggest that the V2 lacks
performance.

The actual difference between any of the top performing gliders in a given
comp class...
Std (D2/LS8),
15M (ASW27/ ASW29 / V2a / V2ax),
18m (V2c / V2cx / ASW29 / JS1)
...is tiny.
More than made up for by decisions made by the pilot.

(Apologies to owners of ships from other manufacturers!)

Open class may be a different matter, too many new designs to provide any
history of results.
